Government Funding for Organic Farmers

Funds for Organic Producers… http://www.tx.nrcs.usda.gov/news/releases/organics_initiative.html

I just talked to my local NRCS office, and they have extended the deadline to get into this program for funds, but I was wondering… Is it like selling your soul when they want a copy of your property deed, Social Security number and property tax receipt for you to be put into their FSA system to be registered with a “tracking number” (their words, not mine)? How much is our privacy worth? Are we willing to sell it for a little funding? I know we need help, but I’m not sure if I want this kind of help. Thoughts?

Hi, I just stumbled upon your website and blog. I am so excited to come visit. My thoughts on providing your information. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, don't do it.

Don't do it. Read up on Codex Alimantarius.
