Re: SANet forward--pricing info
In response to this message we picked up via a forward from SANet:
OFMA now has market price reports--updated weekly-- for organic produce and
field crops. This service is available to certified organic farmer members,
and in some cases associate and /or ex-officio members. Livestock, dairy,
egg and fiber price reports will be forthcoming.
To receive the codes to access these reports, one must become a member of
one or more of OFMA's Production Sector Committees. Membership dues are
$25. More information is available on our website at
http://www.iquest.net/ofma/
PLease email us at cvof@iquest.net with any further questions or comments
about OFMA!
