Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Farmers Sound Off on Rules
Valley News - 8/21/2013. By By Ben Conarck - Farmers from both sides of the Connecticut River crowded Alumni Hall Tuesday afternoon to share concerns about proposed federal food safety rules that could end up requiring weekly tests of water used for irrigation and changing the ways farmers spread manure on their crop fields.

Our View: Food safety rules would hurt small Maine farms
Portland Press Herald - 8/21/2013. Editorial - Regulations designed to stop contamination in huge factory farms don't make sense here. The vast fields of strawberries in California and spinach in Arizona bear little resemblance to the small family farms of Maine. But federal regulations proposed to limit foodborne illness treat them too similarly, and would put undue strain on small businesses that have been a Maine success story in the last decade.

Nathanael Johnson: Grist to whose mill?
GM Watch - 8/21/2013. Claire Robinson takes Grist’s new food writer to task for falling for pro-GM spin.

Mosquito Pool in Southern Maine Tests Positive for EEE
Maine Public Broadcasting - 8/20/2013. Maine health officials say the pool in the town of York is the second this year to test positive for the Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus, which can sometimes be fatal.
