This one day educational conference will take place November 12 at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis. The conference is designed to help farmers, farmer organizations and cooperatives, extension service agents, state departments of agriculture, organic certifiers, organic processors, researchers, academics, and others learn how to access and utilize the funding allocated for organic agriculture in the 2008 Farm Bill. This is an opportunity to gather as a community, obtain the latest information and identify opportunities for action. The new organic provisions to be discussed include funding of research on organic agriculture, certification cost share, crop insurance, data collection, conversion programs, and funding of the National Organic Program.
