Sec. 205.202  Land requirements.

    Any field or farm parcel from which harvested crops are intended to 
be sold, labeled, or represented as ``organic,'' must:
    (a) Have been managed in accordance with the provisions of 
Sec. Sec. 205.203 through 205.206;
    (b) Have had no prohibited substances, as listed in Sec. 205.105, 
applied to it for a period of 3 years immediately preceding harvest of 
the crop; and
    (c) Have distinct, defined boundaries and buffer zones such as 
runoff diversions to prevent the unintended application of a prohibited 
substance to the crop or contact with a prohibited substance applied to 
adjoining land that is not under organic management.
