Why Organic is Important to our Organic Feed Customers
Organic certifies there are no Genetically Engineered Food or GMO
Buying "Organic" is the most reliable way to insure one isn't eating GMO food products. "Organic" labelled food certified by the USDA, are prohibited from using: herbicides, pesticides, genetic engineering, synthetic fertilizers, irradiation, sewage sludge, hormones, or antibiotics.
My father used to say, "You're wasting your money when you buy organic." and I used to agree with him when I was in high school. However with the advent of Genetically Engineered foods, or GMOs in the mid 1990s, buying organic is now more important than one can imagine. GMO foods are not what your parents ate 20 years ago. GMO foods are made in a lab with technology that was developed in the 70s and commercialized in the early 90s
It is misleading, as one looks out over a green field of Arizona corn watching it get taller by the day with their leaves swaying in the breeze, but realize, these plants are not natural. Below I have included videos which seem to cut right to the claims of GMO free advocates have to say. I feel videos are the easiest way to convey, so please enjoy learning what many are coming to fear.

The 12 minute video below reviews the findings of a Sept. 2012 french study on GMO corn, NK603 and Roundup. The surprise finding show it isn't just the pesticide (RoundUp or Glyphosate) that is toxic. It is the plant itself. This video is a must see for anyone eating food in the US. Why?....because you are already eating GMO foods. You may as well learn what it is and what it does....
The following video claims a new organism (not viral, not bacterial, not fungal) has been found, isolated, cultured and studied by scientists extensively. This micro-organism is found in GMO Soybean meal, corn and silage of glyphosate resistant crops and the animals who eat them. This same organism is linked with miscarriage and infertility in cattle, horses, pigs, sheep and poultry conclusively. And of course, maybe...... humans?
