A Growing Cornucopia of Organics - Organic Farming in the District Continues to Sprout in Fields and on Dinner Plates

The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis has published an extensive article on organic agriculture in the January 2008 edition of their newsletter, Fedgazette. The article, written by Dave Walter, is available on the Federal Reserve Bank website or as a pdf file.

The article analyzes the growth of organic agriculture in the Ninth District, which includes the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, and Montana. The article discusses organic crop and livestock sales in the region and changes in the number of organic farms and growth in organic acreage.
