"However, as soon as they inconvenience a business that caters to liberals, it's time to "get the government off their backs."

Gosh, I hate to break it to you....but there are plenty of right wingers of all stripes who prefer food that sports the natural and organic labels. I even know small farmers who realized they could actually earn a living growing what used to be considered "boutique food" who are right wingers.
In actuality, farmers who sell their own produce or ship only to local markets have always used little or no chemicals...its quite unnecessary since the time between pic and sell is so short.

Thats not the point. The point is that in Ithaca, The City of Evil, Government is king! The government can do no wrong, and the government is not big enough, intrusive enough, nor spending enough. But now that the largesse that they approve of, support, and demand is starting to encroach on them its another story.

If you are buying organic on that basis, you are being dupped. Herbicides are used during planting and pesticides during the growing season.

A true organic truck farm is extremely labor intensive, I would be willing to bet those true ones are using illegal manuel labor.
