The Kerr Center has been working with the University of Missouri on a grant to survey certified organic growers in the Mid-South. This area covers southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, northern Arkansas and western Kentucky and Tennessee.  

There seem to be fewer certified organic growers in this region than in other areas of the United States. The grant survey was an attempt to understand the challenges growers are facing in this region and how to address some of those challenges.  

Here is a link to a one-hour webinar which presented the results of our survey.
