Jan. 21, 2011 Source: Farm Journal news release Farm Journal Media has announced the release of a new data set of all growers and companies registered as "USDA Certified Organic." "In the growing organic industry, there are a number of companies that want to reach this very specific segment of agriculture," says Jeff Pence, president of database strategies at FJM. "Many operators claim to be 'organic' -- but only those registered by one of the 70 certifying agencies receive the official designation. And while many of these operations are small in scale, the value of their crop production, plus their unique production techniques, make them a valued target audience." The company reports that the number of certified growers has been increasing at a rate of roughly 20% per year. The file includes 18,200 records with grower and/or company name, address, phone and some basic crop production information; 2,200 records are for Canadian producers. Designations are by: • Crops • Dairies • Livestock • Handlers • Other (farm, processor, wild crops, etc.) More than 2,400 types of commodities are reported. This new file is available for list rental or license. A listing of the "Certified Organic" registering agencies is included in a file license.
