organic regulations have established regulations on appropriate waiting times, and now all
organic producers must wait either 90 or 120 days to
harvest their crops following the use of untreated manure, depending on whether the crop has contact with the soil (90 days: think
cherries or apples; 120 days: think lettuce or carrots).
