DOCUMENTATION .ORMS

The Purpose and Use of These .orms
In order to become certified organic, livestock producers must demonstrate to an accredited certi-
fier that their operation complies with National Organic Program regulations. This process is begun
by completing an Organic System Plan
(OSP)—normally part of the application
for certification. The OSP illustrates to
the certifier how the producer plans to
comply with the regulations by detail-
ing the practices, the inputs, and the
monitoring procedures that will be used.
The Organic System Plan is backed up
by on-site inspection to ensure that the
producer is, in fact, farming or ranching
in the manner outlined in his or her OSP.
It is the inspector’s responsibility to look
for documentation and indicators that
substantiate the producer’s claim to or-
ganic status, as well as look for any vio-
lations.
The forms in this package are pro-
vided as tools that livestock producers
can use for documenting practices, in-
©2003 USDA-NRCS
puts, and activities that demonstrate
compliance with regulations or that as-
sist in other aspects of farm record keep-
ing. The forms can be kept anywhere they make recording easy, such as the truck, milk house, or
machinery shed.
Please note that these are not required forms! Organic livestock producers have more than
enough mandatory paperwork to keep them occupied. These forms are merely intended to give you
something convenient and organized to record routine things that may be important to document.
Use only those forms that suit your operation and recycle the rest.
