    This should be of interest to most beekeepers.  When the government can force private land owners to spray chemicals on their property ALL of us can be affected and that includes our bees.   Passing this along for anyone who might be interested and asking that you please share this.  Time to respond is very short.

     

     

    Why We May Be Forced
    To Spray Our Organic Farm
    With Roundup

    Why Azure Farm is under imminent threat!
    Read below to learn more… and get involved today! 

                                                   

    We have some extremely urgent news to share with you.

    All of Azure Standard's organic wheat, field peas, barley, Einkorn, and beef is grown by Azure Farm on 2,000 acres of pristine, organically certified land in Sherman County, Oregon.

    The county is considering imposing draconian, highly toxic weed management laws and may force us to have our 2,000 acre organic farm sprayed with Roundup and other toxic herbicides.

    You read that right: We'd be forced to have our organic farm sprayed with Roundup, and we would then be forced to foot the bill!

    We have just over 1 week to get as much support as possible. Please review the video above or at Vimeo and learn more at the web page we've set up.
                                                     

    How to take action today…

    1. Complain by email to lhernandez@co.sherman.or.us or…
    2. Call Lauren at 541-565-3416 at Sherman County and raise your concern.

    Speak up for you and your family and community.

    This proposed action is completely unreasonable and would destroy an organic farm and pollute a massive area. If enough voices that benefit from organic produce speak up, the county will understand that there are people that care about their food NOT containing toxic chemicals.

    And if the supporters of healthy food can have a louder voice than the supporters of toxic chemicals, every politician will listen. PLEASE take action today and share this message. Overwhelm the Sherman County representatives with your voice.

    Thank you for your support!

    Azure Standard
