Papers of James (Jim) Riddle and Joyce Ford, organic farmers, inspectors, and educators, documenting their activities relating to organic agriculture certification standards, organic inspector training, and other aspects of organic agriculture, including the Minnesota organic certification cost-share program, the first such program in the nation. Riddle and Ford co-wrote the IFOAM/IOIA International Inspection Manual (2000), a standard work in the field, and the OCC/IOIA Organic Certification Form Templates. Also included are records relating to other organizations with which Riddle or Ford were involved, such as the Independent Organic Inspectors Association (IOIA), the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM), the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's Organic Advisory Task Force (1991-2009), and the University of Minnesota.
