I'm sorry this is a bit off topic, but wanted to share some more links regarding requirements for certified organic dairy farming.  My brother and sister in law have an organic poultry, pork, and beef farm in Weedsport, NY, Spring Brook Farms.  I know to become "certified organic" is lots of work and the requirements for humane treatment of animals, organic feed, and plenty of roaming room is quite strict.  I believe all of us would do well to support our organic farmers, the planet, and ourselves (including our precious breastmilk) by choosing organic.  You will feel so much better when eating foods without toxins.
