The Organic Certification Cost Share Program was funded at $8 million per year through 2031 in federal budget reconciliation legislation, reports CCOF. This program reimburses organic producers and handlers 75% of eligible certification fees, up to $750 per scope. Organic operations can apply at their local Farm Service Agency office or through participating state departments of agriculture when program details are finalized.
