I received this from the Union of Concerned Scientist action list that I am on.

After more than a decade of consideration and hundreds of thousands
of public comments, the USDA implemented strong federal organic
standards.

Now, just a few months after the standards went into effect,
Congressman Nathan Deal (R-GA) attached a last-minute rider to the
omnibus appropriations bill that was signed into law February 20th.
The rider allows poultry and livestock producers to use non-organic
feed, but still label their products as organic. Senators Patrick
Leahy (D-VT) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Congressman Sam Farr (D-CA)
have introduced legislation to rescind this insidious rider.
