Abstract: This report summarizes individual farm financial results for organic FBM participants in the Minnesota Organic Farm Business Management Project for 2012 and provides comparisons to previous years. The report includes whole-farm information as well as costs and returns for individual enterprises. The year-end analysis of the individual farms was completed by Minnesota FBM instructors or by Minnesota Farm Management Associations. A total of 56 organic farms reported data for 2012. Of those, 37 were "completely organic," meaning that all of the agricultural products produced on the farm were produced under organic certification. The others were "split operations," which have some certified organic and some conventional production. The Whole Farm Results section of this report summarizes only the completely organic farms, whereas the crop and dairy enterprise reports include data on the organic production from both completely organic and split operations.
