Not without adversely effecting the organic status of it's neighbor.

AnswerYes, but more caution than usual must be exercised. The chemical-using farmer must be absolutely positive that none of the compounds he applies can make their way over to the organic farm by using barrier strips, spraying only when the wind is blowing the right direction, being aware of the direction of water runoff, etc.

What is the difference between natural and organic?

Natural is not specifically defined in food production, so it really does not mean much at all. Organic is a very specific way of growing foods that does not use chemical (man-made) pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Food labeling of organic foods is a bit complicated. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) allows chemicals to be used on organic foods in certain situations, so foods labeled "USDA organic" could have had chemicals used on them, but certainly not the amounts used on non-organic foods, and they may not be true organic foods. There would be no way to know if chemicals were used. If a food is labeled "organic," it likely is not totally organic. According to the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) it only has to contain 70% organic ingredients. Other ingredients can have GMOs or anything. In order to be 100% organic, food must be labeled "100% organic."
