Oops!  Someone didn't like the idea of an organic garden at the White House. 

The Mid America CropLife Association is an educational organization that coordinates a network of volunteer speakers to talk about the value of agriculture.  Their website is what I might term, "thoughtful agri-business".  They discuss agricultural issues  from a very mainstream point-of-view.  Much of it is tips for this or that.  "Silage management in warmer weather" or "caring for and about groundwater".  Good on that.  However, they also talk a lot about pesticide use and crop protection products.  Clearly, organic is not their thing, although their approach is thoughtful. 

Jill Richardson who writes at La Vida Locavore got hold of an email letter that the organization sent to Michelle Obama about that organic garden.  Take a look at Jill's post if you would like to see the letter.
