You may find it interesting that a California organic grower surrounded by
conventional farmers has sued the most likely applicator of pesticides on
the surrounding farms for contaminating his organic crop...and he won a huge
settlement.  No laws were broken and no regulatory action was taken. How
about that for a precedent. Most regulations require buffers between
conventional and organic to be maintained by the organic grower, and since
drift is illegal.....
