going organic

HI, In the process of organising myself to go organic on our farm. Any one have any idea if there's a difference or if either is better between IOFGA and organic Trust? cheers

Just in case you don't know the Organic Farming scheme shows no sign of opening yet so there's no payment available.

That's it exactly there afraid they'll run out of money I'd say.

I went IOFGA mostly due to my neighbors being with them. I also know guys with organic trust and I would say there is little difference. Ask around the local organic guys who they are with and what is the person inspecting them like.
