In other cases, NBCLA found farmers selling produce labeled "pesticide free," even though lab tests showed presence of pesticides. Consumers usually pay higher prices at farmers markets, because they believe they're buying produce that's locally grown and often organic. But Agriculture Commissioners in several counties told NBCLA that cheating is rampant at farmers markets. It's their job to police the markets and penalize cheaters, but they say because of a lack of manpower, they're unable to do many investigations or to keep a close eye on markets.

NOTE

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA or FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
MAKES LITTLE EFFORT
TO STOP INFESTATIONS OF VECTORS
fROM OVERSEAS
THEREBY INCREASING THE NEED FOR SPRAYING

They prefer to spray, thereby
lessening the amount of food that can be called safe

See this:


THIS MOVE TO INCREASE AWARENESS Of THE NEED
FOR MORE FUNDS FOR REGULATION PLAYS
OUT THE SCENARIO TO SUPPORT STRICTER
REGULATIONS OF LOCAL FARMERS THAT WOULD
COME THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF S. 520 and s. 3767.

I am against more regulation of the local organic farmers
with burdensome red tape, however I support
less cheating. Everyone wants to get in on the boom
of Farmers' Markets.

The internationals and FDA would like to curtail
Farmers' Markets. They interfere with international trade
that prefers centralized food distribution and GE
production in the hands of fewer growers.

Lots to study about this on the Plant Your Dream Original
Blog.

Thanks to Linda Rubin for this.

This is part of the campaign to orchestra
increased regulation of the Farmers' Markets.

S. 510 and s. 3767 aim to send federal agents
to the local level according to some information
I have been given by farmers.
