Study: Number of Organic Farms in Maine Growing

One of the hot workshops at this year's Maine Agricultural Trades Show is called Convergence Equals Sustainability. It's billed as an effort to bring farmers together to talk about food safety, biotechnology and the challenges facing organic and conventional agriculture. One group excluded from these sessions, organized by the Maine Farm Bureau, is MOFGA, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. Jay Field reports MOFGA's exclusion comes as it releases a new report, showing growth in the number of organic farms in Maine and in the amount of revenue and jobs they create.
