INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) encourages Hoosier farmers interested in organics to take advantage of program funds available through the National Organic Certification Cost Share Program.

Indiana has received funds through the federal Agricultural Management Assistance Program to reimburse producers for the cost of organic certification. Producers may be reimbursed for their certification or recertification expenses between Oct. 1, 2008 and Sept. 30, 2009. Producers can receive up to 75 percent of their organic certification costs, not to exceed $750.

For more information or an application, contact Amy Eizinger-Ott, Grants Coordinator at aeizinger-ott@isda.in.gov or (317) 232-8770. Funds are distributed on a first come first serve basis. Additional information is posted on the ISDA Web site under Entrepreneurship.
