Kirk, I
attended "The New Organic Agriculture Standards - Satellite Program"
today at the WSU Learning Extension.
The two hour program featured a look at the new USDA standards for
organic crops. It was an opportunity for viewers nationwide to
watch the first of two satellite broadcasts focused on the National Organic
Agriculture Standards and the implications they pose for Extension Agents,
state and national certification staff, consultants and others involved in the
production of organic commodities. One of the experts on the team was Miles McEvoy who works for the WSDA's
Organic Food Program as an inspector and program manager. He helped establish the National Association
of State Organic Programs (NASOP) and is their President. I posed the question to the panel on the use
of compost tea and Miles McEvoy responded. He said that compost tea can be used if
it was free of pathogens. He also
said sugar and molasses can be used in compost tea. Judi -----Original

anyone heard from NOSB on the new compost tea task force? Other than late
Feb notice, there is no news. We
gotta get USNOP to approve compost tea. Any NOP without it would be silly. Please speak up.> ------------------------
