Final Project Assignment: Organic System Plan (75 points)

For the final project, you will utilize all the information and resources gathered during this course to complete your real or hypothetical farm operation’s Organic System Plan (OSP).  Many organic certifying agencies provide downloadable forms and you will be using:

Organic Crop Improvement Association’s (OCIA) Farm Organic System Plan– Document ID  QS-F-118.

1. Go to OCIA’s Resources and Forms webpage:

http://www.ocia.org/resources-and-forms/search?title=organic+system+plan&field_document_id_value=&language=All&tid=All

1. Type in Organic System Plan.
2. Click on Farm Organic System Plan QS-F-118.  Be sure you have the correct Farm Plan.
3. Fill out all 14 pages of the application to the best of your knowledge.  Refer back to your pest and soil product tables from Unit 7 and Field maps from Unit 5 to help you complete the questions.

If you do not have a farm presently, envision how you want your farm to be and the practices you would undertake and convey that on the form.

Once the form is completely filled out, save the file on your computer as a document and place in course Dropbox by Sunday evening.

Submit your report in the Dropbox found on the course home page.
