Products Of Indoor Organic Farming & Lessening Nature Of Antibiotics

By Rob Sutter


Indoor organic farming crops can be acquired from a number of places but I doubt that supermarkets would be the first place you'd think of. After all, these places have been known to make use of such things as pesticides, which means that you can't exactly purchase them with the knowledge that they are going to be pure. It seems, though, that a number of changes are being made. As far as organic items are concerned, one antibiotic in particular will no longer be allowed.

Organic apples and pears have, for so long, been treated with a certain antibiotic but it will no longer be allowed. Yahoo! News covered the story, stating that the National Organic Standards Board deemed the substance referred to as oxytetracyline will not be usable following the expiration date of October 21, 2014. Anyone who understands the slightest about organic crops knows that they cannot be treated with any substance considered manmade. However, I think that the condition called fire blight deserves to be referenced because of its harmful nature.

For those who are unfamiliar with fire blight, consider this to be gangrene as far as trees go. The report said that the impact of it can be quite severe. Basically, the canker within the tree is one that varies quite a bit, as it can be quite small in many cases. Even though minimal damage is possible, there is also a chance that further harm can be done as the condition can travel to the surface and once that is done, the tree dies out.

Authorities along the lines of Colle Farmers Market would most likely support this banning because, to many people, it's not an organic substance. I think that there is another audience which believes that it is allowed but otherwise it shouldn't be considered usable. Of course, you're going to have debate on the matter and both parties are going to give their reasons as to why this isn't feasible in the way of cultivating food. I believe that this can be a topic worth debating on for people, especially if they are into indoor organic farming.

Even though this seems like a good idea, I could imagine a number of farmers not taking kindly to this particular ban. After all, some of these farmers utilize the antibiotic and their fields and orchards depend on it being put into practice. Rather than a handicap, though, I can see this ban serving as a challenge for such farmers to become even better. If these people simply performed at high levels, then they will still be able to go about their work and allow the best crops to sprout.
