My thoughts were to give organic production a wide berth and stick to conventional Free Range. I was under the impression that - like beef and lamb - the premium was now so little and the feed costs so much higher it was not worth bothering with even before you got to the extra regs. Plus it would restrict what else I could do with the remainder of the area as I currently let the ground for grazing/mowing and there isn't a market for organic grass around here. Most of the people who tried organic sheep and cattle on a commercial scale in this area jacked it in a few years back.
I will admit the whole Organic concept is a pet hate of mine so I have perhaps listened to what I wanted to hear.
