So here we go again. What did I get wrong, Huck? Your headline (yes, theirs) suggests that the organic farmers are employing these pesticides, but the article fesses up and explains that it is likey "drift" from other farms or their own plots that is at issue.

Is that correct? Or not.

The headline of your article is misleading.
