Its very hard to do- I cannot see how it can be done 100% if you audit the whole process- I bet you would find some inorganic elements

i think birds raised on antibiotics are the worst! i heard (this could be total bull) that the antibiotics used on livestock can make our antibiotics less effective!?
i agree with comments already made but organic farming is defornately the way forward
i am moovinh some banties into the back field but i can not feed them non organicly because there droppings!!! i think the organic farming association should deffornately be making it easier for farmers!! it takes 4 years to become organic!!
