Dear Customers and Friends,

New Regulations will impose new requirements on growers, importers and handlers. USDA will soon be publishing proposed new regulations designed to improve the integrity of the organic supply chain. This meeting will be one of the last opportunities to have a two-way discussion to help ensure that the proposals will achieve their purpose to prevent fraud while not creating an unreasonable burden on the industry. Dr. Jennifer Tucker is the leader of the USDA National Organic Program based in Washington, DC.

See attached document for more information.

Sincerely,

RL Jones
