Transitional Production Plan Template to Help Livestock Producers Go Organic

USDA National Organic Program (NOP) posted a new Livestock Transitional Production Plan (TPP) template online. The template was developed under the Organic Transition Initiative’s Transition to Organic Partnership Program. The template helps livestock producers transitioning to organic production learn how to document their organic practices in preparation for completing the Organic System Plan required for organic certification. NOP says that using the template may ultimately streamline the organic transition process and help livestock producers take advantage of other USDA programs.
