Organic Farming Is About to Become Illegal? Act Now!

This past week Bill HR 875 was introduced with little media fanfare. I saw a little bit of news coverage which basically espoused how the bill was designed to make our food supply safer. Like so much going on in our government right now, nothing is further from the truth. It turns out that HR 875 is an attempt by two major corporations, one of which is Monsanto, to eliminate organic seeds from our food supply and replace them with genetic and chemically altered seeds.

This has the potential to put small organic farmers out of business. It will effect the real estate value of rural farming towns and will forever change our food supply. Don't let this happen.

It could end Farmers Markets - this is serious business! Don't Let It Pass.


If you understand the importance of sustainable agriculture and choose to eat organic and pure foods as nature intended for our bodies, please take a second to call your congressional rep and ask them to vote down bill HR 875 which will outlaw organic farming. If we all do not do our part, we'll be stuck with GMO and pesticide-ridden garbage "foods."

  • If this passes, then NO more organic ancient heirloom seeds will be allowed. Instead only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans will be legally grown.
  • The US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on bill that will outlaw organic farming (bill HR 875).
  • This bill is cleverly disguised to fool Americans into thinking it's to our benefit. is also disguised as the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875).
  • Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto - chemical and genetic engineer ing giant corporation along side Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other related agri-giants. This bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food supply". This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales essentially making tons of money for these companies through the sale of their pesticides and also polluting our waterways.
