Abstract

Converting from conventional to organic production systems requires the use of approved practices in every phase of crop production. In addition, farmers cannot be certified organic until 3 years after they have adopted organic practices. These organic requirements may decrease crop yields and increase labor requirements. However, organic price premiums help offset the cost of organic production.
