When growing organic crops and livestock, there are certain restrictions that you must follow to be able to claim your product as "organic". For instance, if you are wanting to have organic livestock you must feed your livestock only organic feed, you may also not give them any growth hormones, just to name a couple. For organic crops you must use fertilizer that is non-synthetic and approved by the USDA. One way to prevent the use of fertilizer is to use crop rotation.

Crop rotation is one very easy way to avoid loss of topsoil through erosion and such...and avoid another dust bowl. That, and synthetic...feces...leaves a lot of traces in the soil that can quite possibly harm many creatures.
Creating your own organic garden (approved by the State of course)would be a healthy change for our customers in addition to a great marketing tool for our business.
