Welcome to "ON Organic"

Welcome to the July 2009 issue of ON Organic. The final version of the new federal organic regulation is now in force and I have included a number of links to information about it. We also have put out a number of crop articles from our different OMAFRA crop newsletters on various issues which I have linked in for your interest.

Thanks to Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario (EFAO) and Organic Council of Ontario (OCO) for forwarding this on to their email lists, and I encourage you to share it with other colleagues who may find it useful. As always we welcome your comments.
