Sustaining Organic Farms in a Changing Organic : Market Place: Final Results of the Fourth National Organic Farmers' Survey

Explores issues related to farmers' experiences with organic marketing organic products. It began with broad concepts, such as: What conditions have the greatest effect on organic farms' economic sustainability? What do prices & markets look like from the organic farmers' perspective? Several questions were framed about organic market & price trends, about organic price premiums, & about information & services that are (or would be) most helpful to marketing organic farm products. The survey asked about negative influences on organic markets, & how farmers anticipated that the USDA National Organic Program rule might impact their farming operation, over the near & longer term.
