Total market value of agricultural products sold and government payments
Definition: This category represents the value of products sold plus government payments. Total value of products sold combines total sales not under production contract and total sales under production contract. Government payments consist of government payments received from the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) plus government payments received from Federal, State, and local programs other than the CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP, and Commodity Credit Corporation loans. Defined on page 23

Total organic product sales.
Definition: The data represent the value of commodities produced according to USDA’s National Organic Program and sold from operations during 2012. Crops, livestock, and poultry products were reported individually on the 2012 report form, but in 2007, these commodities were combined and may have come from either crops or livestock production. The data for the 2012 census years is not directly comparable. Defined on page 24.

Below are case studies, Performance Measures, that illustrate some of the ways Maine programs and projects are making measurable improvements to Maine’s food system. There are many more examples of programs doing great work advancing Framework goals, and we want to hear them!! Please visit the “Submit your Story” tab for more information and to submit a case study that will be published here.
