National Public Radio is airing a story about pesticide drift threatening organic farms, which includes a portion of our story from 2014. The nature of radio stories inevitably leaves out details and context, so here we re-link to the three-part series we wrote for our website, laying out our experience in more detail. It’s an important read for anyone interested in this topic:
Experiencing pesticide drift, part I
Experiencing pesticide drift, part II: Calling in the government
Experiencing pesticide drift, part III: how drift isn’t taken seriously
We also wrote an article for small-farm trade journal Growing For Market about the topic.
