ORGANIC FARM IN OREGON TO BE FORCIBLY SPRAYED WITH ROUNDUP
FARM WARS
Dear Azure Customers.
We�ve some extremely urgent news to share with you.
All of Azure Standard�s Organic wheat, field peas, barley, Einkorn, and beef is grown by
Azure Farm on 2,000 acres of pristine, organically certified land in Sherman County, Oregon.
The county is considering imposing draconian, highly toxic weed management laws and may
force us to have our 2,000 acre organic farm sprayed with Roundup and other toxic herbicides.
You read that right: we�d be forced to have our organic farm sprayed with Roundup, and
we would then be forced to foot the bill!
We�ve just over 1 week to get as much support as possible.
AN ORGANIC FARM UNDER THREAT Azure Farms is a working, Certified Organic
farm located in Moro, Central Oregon, in Sherman County.
It has been Certified Organic for about 18 years.
The farm produces almost all the organic wheat, field peas, barley, Einkorn, and beef for
Azure Standard.
Sherman County is changing the interpretation of its statutory code from controlling noxious
weeds to eradicating noxious weeds.
These weeds include Morning Glory, Canada Thistle, and Whitetop, all of which have been
on the farm for many years, but that only toxic chemicals will eradicate.
Organic farming methods � at least as far as we know today � can only control noxious
weeds�it is very difficult to eradicate them.
WHAT�S HAPPENING?
Sherman County may be issuing a Court Order on May 22, 2017, to quarantine Azure Farms
and possibly to spray the whole farm with poisonous herbicides, contaminating them with
Milestone, Escort and Roundup herbicides.
This will destroy all the efforts Azure Farms has made for years to produce the very cleanest
and healthiest food humanly possible.
About 2,000 organic acres would be impacted; that is about 2.8 times the size of the City
of London, England, and 1.5 times the size of the city center of Philadelphia that could
be sprayed with noxious, toxic, polluting herbicides.
The county would then put a lien on the farm to pay for the expense of the labor and chemicals
used.
TAKE ACTION NOW If you are concerned about where your food
comes from, enjoy Organic and non-GMO food grown in the United States, and support organic
farmers, contact Sherman County Court before May 22, 2017 (and preferably before May 17
when the next court discussion will be held).
