Schumer visited the Birkett Mills and called on the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to work with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to examine and immediately address the issue of organic fraud. Schumer said the organic industry has greatly expanded in recent years and that food products mislabeled as organic threaten to undermine the growing industry in Yates County and beyond. Schumer argued that Birkett Mills and other Yates County organic producers and processors like Lakeview Organic Grain Mill in Penn Yan, which makes organic animal feed, will be hurt if the USDA does not work harder to address the issue of non-organic products entering the United States and being sold as USDA-certified organic.</span></p>"}}
