They let their pesticide drift to the neighboring organic farm. It was found on the organic farmer's property.

And now the judge is telling the neighbor to use measures to minimize drift.

As this cases continues (and it probably will), there will be more interest.

I just reread the article in the OP. Does it says that somewhere else because it doesn't say that in the OP?

Did you read between the lines?

You will probably have to read the lawsuit to find the missing information if there is any.

If you google the case, there are several articles with more detail. It's an interesting case and an important one for lots of reasons.
