Rat Lungworm on organic farms debate renews

[MarkD]

From rainyjim: I will note here that while this limits organic producers options for control of rodents, it does not preclude any higher incidence of rodent infestation on organic farms than on conventional farms to interpret this information in this way would be a false equivalence.

Thanks for your information. I will withhold a question on the exact meaning of your statement, sensing that you have offered all the information you are inclined to give.

We are still awaiting possible information from an agricultural expert on the simple question of whether organic farms offer a more hospitable environment to rats than do commercial farms.

It appears we have been informed that rat abatement options on organic farms are more limited than on commercial farms.
