Wal-Mart is venturing in to the organic market This is a problem for organic farmers because, well, Wal-Mart seems totally antithetical to the idea of organic farming. But, another reason, as cited in this BusinessWeek article, is that organic farmers can't really afford to have their products sold at the low, low prices that Wal-Mart guarantees. It's a real clash of cultures. Maybe if the farm in question expanded beyond turnips, parsnips, and Swiss chard, they'd do brisker business.
