Is Your Congressman a member of the Organic Ag Caucus?

The Organic Caucus is a bipartisan association of congressional members dedicated to enhancing availability and understanding of information related to the production and processing of organic agricultural products. The caucus serves public interest by promoting sound policies and funding to advance organic production and marketing.
