MSU Organic Farmer Research Survey

December 2007

Montana State University faculty are currently conducting organic farming research as part of a three-year USDA grant (and will present some of their research findings at the MOA conference in Great Falls.) These researchers are continually identifying areas for further organic farming research and would like your help with this process. Therefore, they have developed a survey designed to help prioritize crop management issues, concerns, and problems that face organic farmers and thosethinking of transitioning to organic. The results from this survey will be used to identify research needs, develop grant proposals and/or refine current projects designed to directly benefit Montana's organic farmers. Some of the selected projects will be conducted on a five-acre block that has been reserved for organic farming research at the Agronomy Post Farm in Bozeman, while other research may be on-farm. By filling out this survey, you will help directly shape the direction of future organic farming research in Montana. The survey is on MOA’s website at http://www.montanaorganicassociation.org/survey.htm.

If you have questions on the survey, please contact Clain Jones at clainj@montana.edu.
