Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association

Those attending the rally, organized by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association and other groups, said the funding cuts, contract suspensions and other changes are especially challenging for small farms.

MOFGA argues that the EPA failed to regulate the spread of sludge under the Clean Water Act, which directs the agency to identify pollutants in biosolids every two years.

State officials estimate it will cost anywhere from $19 million to $53 million to complete these PFAS investigations, depending on the number of sites that the department can test and the cost of remediating contamination.

The designation of these so-called "forever chemicals," is still subject to rulemaking, but could eventually require manufacturers to report spills and force some to pay for cleanup.

The flagship event of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association is still lacking almost half of the volunteers needed to produce the yearly three-day celebration of rural living.
