USDA
Organic Farming Survey
Posted 15 May 2009
Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey encouraged Iowa farmers with organic crops to
participate in USDA’s survey of organic agriculture. This will be
USDA’s first large scale survey focused on organic production.
The survey will be going to farmers during the month of May and the
deadline to respond is June 17th. The results will be made
available late this year.
“It is vital that organic farmers across the state take the time to
respond to this survey so that we can get a better understanding of the
amount of organic production taking place in the state and the issues
organic farmers are facing,” Northey said.
Organic farmers with questions can contact Greg Thessen, the Director
of the Iowa field office of USDA’s National Agriculture Statistics
Service at 800-772-0825. | | |
