The proposed Required Agricultural Practices (RAPs) rules in Vermont are going about it all wrong and will have many unintended consequences that are destructive to small farms and local agriculture without solving the water quality issues. It is fundamentally wrong to be changing the definition of a small farm. The small farms under the old definition are not the cause of the water quality problems. The threshold between medium and small farms should not be lowered.

Some SD cards' firmware will lock the device to read-only if any write error occurs. If this happens, the only solution is to copy all data off it & discard. SD/flash is not worth the effort of trying to fix, once it starts to go wrong. If none of this is successful, throw it away. I work with hundreds of (admittedly very cheap) SD cards for work, & this is our standard practise if they start to fail.

Was it billed as just organic meat, or as a 'You won't get sick!' meat? I could not find it mentioned how these people either were told/found out about this meat, and subsequently were happy to pay high prices for it, let alone that it would not cause them problems when eating.
