Organic testing mandate — AgMinute for Nov. 16, 2012
The USDA will require organic crops to be regularly tested to ensure farmers aren't treating them with conventional pesticides, over the objections of some certifiers who worry about costs. Starting next year, organic certifiers must collect and test samples from at least 5 percent of the farms they inspect.
