COG-Pro: Record-keeping for Organic Certification
Blue Ribbon Bulletins developed this easy-to-use online database site for Certified Organic Business Solutions using the powerful Drupal content management system.
COG-Pro makes it easy for organic farmers to maintain records and generate reports on field planning, crop yields, seed orders, fertility inputs, and much more.
Now all the data needed to maintain a farm's organic certification can be managed in one convenient online "notebook."
Kathy Kifer of Kifer Graphics created the site's eye-grabbing notebook look.
