Jim & Jo & Kent Priestly,

Thought I read it in the NOP that the USDA was going to start collecting
this info. Yep, here it is:

"Market News for Organic Fruit and Vegetables

USDA's Fruit and Vegetable Market News Service recognizes the growth and
increased importance over
the last few years of organically grown produce. As a result, the
President's fiscal year 2001 budget
contains a request for funds which will allow the Market News Service to
begin reporting price and volume
of organically grown fruits and vegetables in the United States.

The report would be issued from the Fruit and Vegetable Market News
Service, Customer Service Center
in Fresno, California. The National Organic Fruit and Vegetable Report
would consist of F.O.B. (free on
board) shipping point prices, volumes, and wholesale market prices."

This is from the web page at:
