this spring that a ground applicator violated several regulations while spraying an insecticide on a neighboring farm last August. Only the asparagus was affected, Melissa Dunham said, but since they cant market it as organic again until 2017, they cant charge wholesale customers as much for it.

Pesticide drift is persistent problem for organic farmers
determined this spring that a ground applicator violated several regulations while spraying an insecticide on a neighboring farm last August. Only the asparagus was affected, Melissa Dunham said, but since they can't market it as organic again until 2017, they can't charge wholesale customers as much for it.along the affected side of their farm. They've posted no-spray signs and listed their farm on Iowa's sensitive crops registry. But the precautions weren't enough. Fortunately, Melissa Dunham said, no customers in their spring community-supported agriculture (CSA) program accepted their offer of refunds.
