Map the records
List the documents you already use and where the current versions live.
ORGANIC FARM • RECORD ORGANIZATION
Good work in the field.
Clear records in the office.
Give every document a home, every open question an owner, and your next inspection conversation a clearer starting point.
No account. No document uploads. Your index stays in your browser until you download it.
START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
A practical first step for organic crop farms.
An Organic System Plan describes an operation’s practices and records. Our focus is the administration around those records: file locations, document owners, versions and follow-up questions. Your certifier determines the applicable requirements and evaluates your operation.

Track the questions
Separate missing files from questions that need your certifier’s answer.
Keep it workable
Give each follow-up an owner and keep a simple update routine.
Need a more organized record system?
Discuss a scoped administrative project: a folder map, document index and follow-up tracker built around your existing materials.
