Oregon's organic farmers will benefit from new research, education and outreach thanks to a new OSU Organic Extension program, dedicated to building and sustaining organic agriculture — Oregon's fastest-growing farm sector.
We sit down and chat with Wendy Johnson, a beginning row crop and livestock farmer near Charles City, Iowa. She recently completed her transition from conventional production to organic and shares some of her challenges, successes and the importance of great mentors.

There on store display lay the perfect package of grapes, so tempting. It being open, I popped one in my mouth. Then a voice came. It said, "No Uvas!" The grape became a looking glass. Its dew became sweat on the young Cesar Chavez's brow as he picked lettuce and beets in the hot sun.
