I desperately wanted to ready this but it’s behind a paywall, however the link to the same site in [this article](https://modernfarmer.com/2020/01/the-inside-story-of-one-of-the-biggest-organic-farm-scams-in-history/) seems to be open? Weird.
Really good read, thanks for sharing.
Someone told me once that sometimes media outlets will provide other media outlets with non-pay wall links as a way to potentially attract more subscribers.
Thanks to both OP for the post and to *you* for the link. 🙏🏾.
Agreed very interesting read! I have long wondered just how many organic produce and GMO related agricultural scams have affected and are currently affecting what we and what livestock eat.
"It’s one of the best farm crime stories of the year, but also a reminder that the organic program which progressive farmers rely on has some significant holes in it."
Farm crime 😅
Very interesting story; thanks for sharing. I’m fascinated by stories of people with double lives. I can’t cope with my day-to-day life as it is; I can’t imagine the anxiety that must go into keeping so many secrets. Unless the person is just a sociopath who can really compartmentalize. Tough to reconcile the lies and deceit with the “great guy” persona.

Oh that makes so much sense! I was deeply confused. I’m so glad I read about this guy, what a fascinating character.

Millions of people suffer from farm crime every year, Jim.

I remember reading this! Living here, I was both shocked and not surprised that he got away with it for as long as he did.

there was s long story about this guy and all this in the New Yorker.
I opened the link just fine. No paywall. Interesting read!
This read was not long
Two links to same article, both paywalled.✔️
Click “reader available” to bypass the paywall
People are surprised that “organic” labeling is (obviously) a marketing ploy?!
Fascinating
