The USDA is paid for by the People, so why is it being used by the People's enemies? Enough of this and do your job to protect the People and not to be used by Corporate Enemies of the tax payers!

All hydroponically-grown fruits and vegetables should NOT be allowed to certify and label their foods as organic!

As a consumer of organic produce, I want to be assured that what I purchase for my family follows the stringent guidelines for certified organic.

Hydroponically grown fruits and veggies should not be labelled organically grown. Herbacides are sprayed under the pots immediately before planting, there is no soil to be enriched to support healthy produce which does not meet USDA organic foods regulations!! Again, this only supports large agribusiness, NOT the farmers that are proving you don't need destructive chemicals and pellet fertilizer to grow plants that are not toxic to humans or the environment. Hydroponics do not meet organic produce regulations!

No glyphosate near organic fruits and veggies! No hydroponics in organics!

I have a tiny garden from which I eat vegetables, berries and share them with friends and relatives. Just the other day, my neighbor was spraying his grass. I asked him if it was Roundup. He looked at it and said, "No, it's not, but it's something just like it." I assumed it was a knockoff, containing glyphosate. I told him, it kills birds and insects, but neglected to tell him of it's danger to us. I'll be sure to do that next time. My hope is that this dangerous chemical will be banned, as it is in Europe. The USDA should be the agency that helps protect us. Do your job.

We need to do whatever it takes to protect our food from all kinds of toxins and pesticides that are not safe to use. This has been going on for sometime now so there needs to be changes made now to make sure that our foods are safe to eat. Toxins and pesticides are not safe to use on our foods now or ever. Toxins and pesticides are a very big deal whether you people like it or not. Toxins and pesticides have not be used properly the way they should be and it will make people sick. We are not joking about this now and we won't. Nothing is being done to get toxins and pesticides out of our foods and we want to know why now and we will. We will find this out now and we will. We are here to protect the food we eat now and we will. This is not over yet! This is a very big deal to is now. We will continue to get to the bottom of this now and we will. We are not here for excuses and lies anymore now only for the real truth for once. We are here to get answers now and we will. We are here to get to the truth now and we will. We won't be lied to anymore now and we won't. We are here to end toxins and pesticides when it comes to food now and we will.

Please help keep “organic food” truly organic. Consumers should be able to trust that they are getting and paying for the real thing.

Leta be honest about Organics. It is expensive to gain the label. No cheating should be allowed!

Hydroponic methods do not guarantee a harvest of organic produce.
