Webinar: Introducing the OCIA Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) for Producers in South Dakota

The Transitional Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) in South Dakota, administered by Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA) under a grant to SDSPA, aims to support farmers in transitioning to organic farming.

The program offers education and technical support from experienced organic farmers, educators, and consultants. By providing these resources, TOPP helps South Dakota farmers navigate the transition period, promoting sustainable agriculture and increasing the number of certified organic operations in the state.

During this webinar learn more about what the program offers, resources and training opportunities to help South Dakota transitioning farmers understand organic standards and implement organic practices.

This program is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP).
