The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP) is pleased to send a reminder about the 2015 Certified Organic Survey being conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). 
Farmers Reminded to Respond to the 2015 Certified Organic Survey
The 2015 Certified Organic Survey is underway and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is reminding farmers and ranchers that it's not too late to respond. In early February, survey questionnaires were mailed nationwide to all known organic farms. NASS is now conducting telephone follow up with producers who have not yet responded. Some farmers may also be selected for in-person interviews to assist with data collection efforts. Your participation is strongly encouraged.
