Abstract

A member of the Southern Farmers Collaborative Group approached the Dougherty County Cooperative Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources County Extension Agent about hosting a GAP Audit training so that members of the group would be able to train others like a Train-the-Trainer program. Most farmers in this group grow some type of produce and would benefit greatly from learning what to expect when they have their farm audited. Therefore, the Good Agricultural Practice Training Program would equip growers with the information necessary to fulfill all requirements of a USDA GAP audit process. However, little is known about whether such a training can positively influence knowledge levels of farmers to perform well during an audit.
