[vetsinag] Funds available to cover organic certification costs

[Margo Hale]

USDA has funds available to reimburse 50% of an operations' costs of obtaining or maintaining organic certification. Applications for the Organic Certification Cost Share Program<https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/occsp/index> are due Nov. 1, 2021. Organic farmers and ranchers may apply through a Farm Service Agency (FSA) county office<https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app> or a participating state agency.



This is a great program for certified organic producers. Let me know if you have questions or need assistance in applying.
