USDA is conducting its Organic Ag Census. It is critical for all certified organic producers with sales above $5000 annually to fill out the census. Section 10 deals with an especially important question of GMO contamination costs for organic producers. I am told that many in the biotech industry and conventional farming community such as the American Soybean Association and National Corn Growers Association and their producers are "livid" over USDA even asking this question.

Just last week an organic producer had four loads of organic food grade corn rejected in one day at a loss of $5000 due to GMO contamination. We in the organic community and especially farmers know this is a problem.

Below is the link to the survey. If you haven't responded, please do so.
