STATE OF THE STATES: ORGANIC SYSTEMS RESEARCH AT LAND GRANTS

A 2000-2001 compilation of organic programs, contacts and resources at the
nation's public land grant agriculture schools by Organic Farming Research
Foundation Technical Program Coordinator Jane Sooby, can be downloaded for
free at http://ofrf.org/ or ordered from them by mail for a 5$ donation to
cover mailing costs.  The author of this study could find only 151 certified
organic acres among the 886,000 research acres within the land grant system,
which amounts to .02% of the entire acreage studied.
