    Has anyone growing organic had to deal with aerial mosquito spraying? Does anyone know the impact on organic status?

    I'm in a North Florida county that's just recieved mandatory FEMA spraying (no opt-out). I been looking but haven't yet found out what's in the sprays.
    I grow organically; not yet certified but considering it for the future. I'm in an area where mosquito-borne disease is always a threat in heavy/extended periods of rain, so would appreciate thoughts/ideas on how others have dealt with this. Thanks!

    ps - as you can see, the mosquitoes here are BIG. maybe I should farm them instead!
