The 2008 Farm Bill has officially expired. Dozens of innovative programs for organic farmers that put healthy, organic food on our tables are in political limbo until Congress returns in November. That’s a long way off for those of us who fought so hard to build the infrastructure of organic. We can’t let the organic gains made get lost in the political shuffle after the election. While some in Washington are saying the impact will be negligible in the near term, organic farmers and members of Congress from agricultural states and districts know better.
