Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News
Parents need Snowe, Collins to be heroes in toxic chemical fight
Kennebec Journal - 10/7/2011.
Op-Ed by Megan Rice – Recently, my 4-year-old daughter made a card for her dad that read, "My daddy is my hero." On any given day, our girls are hoping and expecting that we will be their heroes, superheroes even. By definition, hero means protector or defender – two words that I believe are synonymous with parent.
Public hearing Friday on pesticides
Kennebec Journal - 10/6/2011.
By Mechele Cooper – Augusta: A public hearing Friday will address proposed new rules governing pesticide notification and use. One amended rule specifies that the current 500-foot notification distance for aerial applications be modified to allow for notification up to 1,000 feet from an aerial application.
Small-business coalition calls on Snowe, Collins to back Safe Chemicals Act
Bangor Daily News - 10/6/2011.
By Ryan McLaughlin – Bangor: A coalition of nearly 2,500 small businesses from across Maine is urging the state’s U.S. senators to support legislation that would overhaul the nation’s chemical safety laws and help businesses and their customers get accurate and timely information about deadly chemicals used in consumer products.

Common Dreams - 10/6/2011.
By Ronnie Cummins – Monsanto and Food Inc.’s stranglehold over the nation’s food and farming system is about to be challenged in a food fight that will largely determine the future of American agriculture.
