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 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.



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).

Ok.

Why are they spraying? What pest and what proof. If there's an infestation of some sort I reckon the organic farm should be quarantined.

Well it's a good thing that glyphosate is broken down in the soil in a couple of days.

Noxious weeds... Sounds like a legitimate reason. There are rules and regulations regarding these weeds in a HUGE way. I have a binder on my desk at work for every weed in every state and what the acceptable levels are (it's in a tenth or hundreth of a percent) per seed sample... This is regulated by the government to keep the spread down.

Don't let your weeds spread and they won't ask you to control them and then be forced to spray when you don't.
