Organic Row Crop and Forage Needs Assessment Survey

By Claire LaCanne

We want to hear from organic row crop and forage producers and agriculture professionals who work with organic producers! The University of Minnesota Extension Crops team would like to better understand the educational needs of our organic row crop and forage producers. To customize our educational programs to the interests of our organic producers, we would appreciate your input through the completion of the following survey.

You do not have to be currently certified organic to take this survey - you could be considering transitioning, or simply using organic practices. We would also like to hear from grain buyers, crop consultants, and other agriculture professionals who work with organic growers. This survey is anonymous and should take 8-12 minutes to complete.

The purpose of the Profitable Pastures conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management
