[note: the dairy farm looks a lot like the matrix, eh? my recommendation, independent of this article below, is that you not support any dairy farm that is not local and that you have visited and made sure that it uses very humane methods...see notmilk.com]USDA releases strict new pasture rules for organic dairy
In October 2008, the USDA proposed changes to the standards that govern organic dairy farming. Before, organic certification required farmers to give their cows “access to pasture,” which some large dairies chose to interpret, well, rather loosely. 
How now, organic cow?
On Friday, the agency released its final rules on the matter. Pasture standards for organic dairy production have been tightened significantly. According to the USDA’s press release, the new rules are as follows:
Please read the whole article on grist.org:• Animals must graze pasture during the grazing season, which must be at least 120 days per year;
• Animals must obtain a minimum of 30 percent dry matter intake from grazing pasture during the grazing season;
• Producers must have a pasture management plan and manage pasture as a crop to meet the feed requirements for the grazing animals and to protect soil and water quality; and,
• Livestock are exempt from the 30 percent dry matter intake requirements during the finish feeding period, not to exceed 120 days. Livestock must have access to pasture during the finishing phase.

I am so glad to see that their are great guidelines set in place for organics. I know it must be hard for the Farmer's but it just has to be this way so we consumers know what is accepted and expected. We recently tried Kamut Khorasan Wheat that is ancient and pure and WOW was it good! When we eat pure foods - I think we can really really tell. It's too bad that we are getting used to the gross contamined stuff.
