recession hits organic farms - article

I read this depressing article in the NYT today:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/29/us/29dairy.html?_r=1&hp

It is mainly about arganic dairy farms.  Are there any Fresh Loafers who have info about how the recession has hit the organic grain farmers?  Is it as bad for them? 

In the meantime, since my husband and I have managed to keep our jobs, have no children to support and have no massive debt, I'll continue to to buy organic milk and flour and hope that the economy picks up so that others will eventually be able to as well.  I'd hate to see this industry take a step backwards.
