With Heidi Heitcamp. She is sensible and brave and brilliant.

Everything I would want in a Sec of Ag.

This guy who runs that organization is a very destructive figure, in my experience. He is a libertarian type pushing odd agendas as though he alone is the gatekeeper of what Organic is.

The rest of the whole real organic growers keep going and expanding and making a difference by the way we farm and the way we inspire others to adapt some of the practices to be more generative rather than extractive.

Just my perspective as a self described organic fanatic since the ‘70’s . But I actually farm and this guy who runs this organization lived on grants and donations often based on hyperbolic rhetoric. That in my opinion often damages the reputations of real organic producers.
