**New federal rules meant to prevent organic fraud have been praised by organic farmers for helping to protect the integrity of the national organic label.

But the rules have also brought unintended consequences as smaller operations struggle to keep up with the new requirements.

Those struggling include government agencies that inspect and certify farms to ensure they comply with standards of the National Organic Program.
