This Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA) grant is for organic producers seeking financial assistance for certification costs. The program offers cost-share support through participating states, reimbursing recipients for up to 75 percent of their organic certification expenses, with a maximum of $750 annually. Eligibility requires receiving initial or continued certification from a USDA accredited certifying agent. This initiative aims to support producers of organic agricultural products, particularly in states with historically low participation in the Federal Crop Insurance program, promoting the growth and sustainability of organic farming operations.
