“although the organic food was 30% less likely to contain pesticides.” Organic with pesticides, I didn’t think it was allowed to be labeled as organic if it had pesticides.

“30% less likely to contain pesticides.”

I wonder if it’s only 30% because some pesticide blows over from neighboring non-organic farms when they are sprayed.

Also, some non-organic items contain little or no pesticides, anyway, so the difference between organic and non-organic on those foods would be small.

Do you know how eaten up with insects the vegetables would be if absolutely no pesticides were used?

A woman who has property near our ranch decided she was going to raise grass fed organic beef cattle and use absolutely no chemicals, no fertilizer or weed killer on her pastures or vaccines for the animals.

Her project did not survive. Her pasture had no grass, her animals got sick and many died. Maybe there is a place in the country with no pests where this could be done but the Texas Gulf Coast is not that place.
