Subject: grassfed standards



Hello

            We have an organic farm that is certified.  In addition, our beef is
all grassfed.  I support the proposed grassfed standards which I understand to
be at least 99% grassfed and either standing or harvested.  I would be opposed
to limiting the definition to “green standing only”.  My reason is that there is
just too much variation across the country.  Some places may have standing green
for many more months than others due to latitude, geographic location,
irrigation, or drought.  Plus, who defines what “green” is.
