| Dear Dennis,
Thanks to those of you who participated in our 2025 Producer Survey!
We are grateful for your time and insights, especially during such a busy season. Your voice matters, and we’re excited to share a few early highlights with you now.
Survey Highlights
- 53% of respondents who are not already certifiedare considering AGW certification
- Top AGW Resources: Sustainable Farming magazine, our website, technical resources offered through the program (farm templates/plans, support from AGW staff and AGW fact sheets)
What You Value About AGW
While we’re still reviewing written comments, two consistent themes emerged from your feedback about what you value most:
“The evidence-based information provided is valuable.”
“I value AGW’s integrity, transparency, and scientific approach to sustainability. It inspires farmers like me to adopt ethical and environmentally sound practices that protect both nature and humanity.”
How We’re Using Your Feedback in 2026
Your insights are already shaping our priorities for the year ahead. Based on what you told us, we’re working on analyzing survey responses and identifying key themes, incorporating findings into 2026 planning across marketing, compliance, and management and developing resources and new offerings based on your identified needs.
Have additional thoughts?
We’d love to hear more. Please contact info to get connected with the appropriate AGW staff member to share ongoing feedback. While we check in through this survey once a year, we are always interested in hearing from you. |
