Big GMO information meeting in Ashland - Mar 26th

Put this on your calendar: We just got confirmation that the OSU Ext. Information Session on GMO's in the Jackson & Josephine Co. will be March 26th, 6-8pm, Hanley Auditorium, as originally posted. Help get this information out to the farming community and public at large!

This is a great chance to share your concerns about GE/GMO's to be heard by the only agricultural "authority" in the region. The USDA has little sympathy for the cause of organic farming communities, Organic Certified or not. I have been outreached to lawyers, non-profits, organic seed grower advocates, certifiers and Dept. of Ag. officials and consistently hear the course ahead for our community is Farm at your own risk. We must change this story!!!

The next local meeting will be Monday, 12 March, 9-11am in Gresham Rm, Ashland Library. At that time, we will decide on alternatives times/locations for our weekly meeting.

Kudos to Chris H. for providing the information and taking the lead on action!
