In Ca. now if you sell organic you get a form at the end of the year asking
you how much you sold and after filling it out you get taxed on what you
made.  That is in my mind double taxation just because you farm organic .
Now the  fed . gov. is about to make it triple taxation if you are a organic
farmer. This his how the gov. rewards folks that farm organic. An extra tax
does not make you more organic.  They should be giving us a tax break not
triple taxing us because we do not use synthetic chemicals and herbicides.
Why do they burden the folks that are doing good and not tax the polluters
instead?
