Not Steve, but did a simple www.google.com search for 'organic selenium' This website explains it well enough:
http://www.nutriteck.com/selenium.html "Selenite and selenate are inorganic chemicals. Simple blends of these with yeast do not make organically bound selenium. One should request the selenomethionine analysis of each lot to ensure that the effective nutritional form of selenium is present. " Note that it is the FDA which has approved the organic form of selenium as an animal feed supplement, not the NOP, as far as I know...
