Information for licensees
This section provides the detailed technical information required by a producer, processor or other organic operation. It is designed around the OF&G Control Manual, which can be read on screen and also printed. A paper copy may be obtained from OF&G for a small charge, or it can be supplied on CD free of charge (contact us to request a copy).
