Hi! I'm not sure... but I think that this might be 3 p.m. EST... since the USDA is in DC. I'm not sure, but it should be at noon on the west coast.

Some might be fooled because they stopped producing proslac- but don't be fooled - if it wasn't for YEARS of consumer pressure they would still be helping factory farming to mass produce for a profit - by continuing to produce and sell hormones for dairy cows. My gosh - same company that manafactures the weed killer round up. Arghhhhh!!!!!!!

Glad you are working on this. Can you also work on the fact that UC DANR wants to completely cut the Small Farms Center? I think CAFF could mount a campaign on this, just like you did 30 years ago in the lawsuit that formed the Center.

These tours helped inform many companies now using organic cotton, and serve as a great tool for educating employees and management about the importance of reducing chemical use in cotton cultivation.

Retail companies support SCP by sponsoring our tour. Past sponsors include Patagonia, Norm Thompson, Cutter and Buck, Le...vi, Gap, California College of the Arts, and Nike.

Description: A one-day tour of the San Joaquin Valley that will challenge your perceptions about what agriculture is and what it could become.

Between late September and mid October, when cotton is harvested and farms throughout the state are at the height of activity, The Sustainable Cotton Project offers a one-day tour. Visitors travel a central loop through the San Joaquin Valley, gaining a behind-the-scenes look at the many sides of conventional, biologically intensive pest management (BioIPM), and organic cotton production.
