Maryland organic farmers may receive help at training workshops, funded by two new grants designed to help defray producers' costs and improve opportunities for organics in the state.
The first is a $38,000 USDA Conservation Innovation Grant to increase management expertise among organic farmers, maximize the conservation benefits of organic farming, and explore marketing and infrastructure development for organic grain and forage farmers.
The second grant is from the USDA to help organic producers pay for the cost of certifying their operation as organic.
