Summarizes actual Minnesota organic farm performance data from 2006 and 2007. Farmers who participate in the program receive a partial rebate on their Farm Business Management Program tuition costs. They work one-on-one with a local FBM instructor to keep and use quality records in their farm business decisions. Their farm data is then stripped of all its identifying characteristics (so the producers remain absolutely anonymous) and incorporated into FINBIN, a database at www.finbin.umn.edu.
