But who would have thought data integration and reporting would be so vital to keeping the whole operation humming? In fact, Organic Valley, the largest organic dairy coop in the United States, has been thriving, with sales growing more than 600 percent over the last eight years to reach $530 million in 2008. In an industry in which slim, two-percent margins are common, business intelligence has been the key to keeping the 1,400-member coop profitable.

Organic Valley farmer-owners are discouraged that the media continues to publish biased and outdated information regarding the healthful benefits of organic such as the recent UK Food Standards Agency's report. We urge organic advocates to read any or all of the attached rebuttals showing the errors in the study. Scientists, nutritionists, even Prince Charles have responded with their concerns about this report. It is time to demand that our media outlets take a more balanced approach to reporting on our food and agricultural systems. Organic is a small and relatively new industry but is also one of the few agricultural production models that have answers to a broken food system.
