Oct 02, 2017 2:30 pm

U.S. Rep. John Faso, Republican of Kinderhook, announced last week that he has introduced the Organic Farmer and Consumer Protection Act, in partnership with U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan, a New Mexico Democrat. Faso said, “Fraudulent ‘organic’ grain" is deceptive to consumers, but artificially drives down the price of real organics, hurting legitimate organic farmers, Faso said. News of the legislation was greeted by farmers and industry leaders alike. Tim Joseph, Founding Farmer, Maple Hill Creamery in Kinderhook, said, "We fully support the bill and are grateful to Congressman John Faso for introducing this important legislation.” Read the full press release at Faso [dot] House [dot] gov.
