Lets talk about Organic Certification a bit!

[Roger L.]

That would be a die-hard Non-existent!

[JCO]

Is that the party or the candidate

[David - WI]

I think "organic" (as it currently exists) is a joke... the "standards" have been so perverted & convoluted that the word barely has meaning any more.

BUT... I do have to admit that 99% of the people that I talked to about aquaponics (our city council, the water & utility commission, potential customers, etc) say "Oooh, organic vegetables???"

So, I think there is some dollar/marketing value in being able to claim "organic"... but it's probably less value than the cost of actually being certified as organic.

I think that the word "Aquaponic" is plenty good for people to accept your product as premium. I would not get the cert.I agree with Badger that as soon as people hear about how things are grown they say ' Organic'.
You don't need to pay or deal with 'OG' people to have a top market price. The product will sell at the same price.

Me, I just like to find a public servant that actually had the best interest of all American at heart and that didn't lie every time they opened their mouth. So which party is that?

You R asking wayyyyyyy tooooo much!
