Commercial mass production of crops has created a relatively new phenomenon in the agricultural community. In order to make a profit in the industrialized and computerized world of farming, farmers are now under pressure to produce incredibly high volumes of crops. In order to hold par these farmers have resorted to non-natural means and methods in their crop production. With checmical fertilizers and pesticides in vegetation as well as growth hormones and medications in livestock, the resultant supply of produce brought to the coomercial market suffers greatly from high levels of toxicity. For the consumers looking to avoid this intense dose of toxins, organic farms subject to the regulations of the USDA have started to form a presence in the commercial marketplace.

Organic farms apply natural fertilizers, such as manure and compost, rather than chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth. They use beneficial insects and birds and mating disruption to prevent insect infestation and disease rather than spraying crops with insecticide. They rotate crops and manually manage weeds manually rather than applying chemical herbicides. And, lastly, they feed livestick organic feed, give them time outdoors, implement rotational grazing, and provide clean housing and a balanced diet to prevent disease and produce healthy livestock, milk, and eggs.
