This was a pretty decent article and good on Vox for publishing it. There are some figures showing how antibiotic use for meat animals had decreased but are starting to tick up a bit, wonder how much (or lack of) media coverage has an impact on this trend. I grew up in an area known for dairy production (in the u.s.a) and have heard from dairy staff when a cow used for Organic product gets sick often (not sure a percentage) their only choice is to "take the animal to auction". It's a catch 22 because if you treat the cow they may no longer qualify for Organic standards. From my experience working on lettuce farms there are still a ton of things you can spray on the crops while qualifying for Organic labeling. It's complicated to say the least.
