      <image:caption>Heather Spalding, NOC President &amp; Board Member (sher/her) Deputy Director, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association Heather Spalding works as deputy director and senior policy director for the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA). She started with MOFGA in 1997, after ten years working in Washington, DC - first for the National Wildlife Federation, then the Sierra Club, and then Greenpeace International where she served as Publications Coordinator for the International Toxics Campaign. Heather’s introduction to MOFGA came during a summer 1996 sabbatical from Greenpeace, when she volunteered as an apprentice on New Leaf Farm in Durham, ME. Wanting to settle in her home state of Maine, Heather then accepted a job offer to coordinate MOFGA’s signature event, the Common Ground Country Fair. After several years focusing on the Fair, Heather changed her focus and worked on MOFGA’s organizational administration and development. She now works primarily on Public Policy initiatives at the state and national level. She lives in the town of Palermo, ME with her family.</image:caption>

Jay dedicated himself to finding solutions to pesticide problems after working with farmworkers and small farmers through an EPA grant in 1978 to the national advocacy organization Rural America (1977-1981), where he helped to develop the first EPA worker protection standard. Since that time, Jay has coordinated the building of Beyond Pesticides' capacity to assist local groups and impact national and state pesticide and organic policy. He has tracked specific chemical effects, regulatory actions, pesticide law, and organic standards and policy, including allowable materials in organic-certified and labeled food production and processing. He participated in the drafting of the Organic Farming Act, then the Agricultural Productivity Act (established USDA’s Low-Input Agriculture program, now the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program), as well as the Organic Foods Production Act (established the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) and the USDA organic certification program).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Organic Farmer &amp; Owner Cambridge, Iowa Noah grew up near Manchester, IA, a small town in Northeast Iowa. Noah graduated from Iowa State University in 2000 with a major in Ag Business and a minor in International Ag. After graduating ISU he worked in the industry for Cargill until late 2001. Noah learned several fundamental business skills throughout his experience working with Cargill. However, his heart was still in production agriculture. After leaving Cargill he moved on to work for some farmers in Central Iowa and participated in the wheat run throughout Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota for four years. In 2006 Noah started farming together with Caleb Akin, forming A&amp;W Farms. From 2006 to 2015 A&amp;W Farms was able to build a successful farming operation as first-generation farmers. In 2015 they decided to begin the aggressive transition from conventional to organic production. Since 2015 Noah and Caleb have transitioned over half of their 3000 acres to organic production. Their passion for caring for the land and providing a safe food supply continues to be the driving force in their organic production.  Organic crops include corn, soybeans, sunflowers, oats, wheat, hemp, and field peas. To maximize organic crop rotations, A&amp;W Farms has been using weed control strategies including unique crop rotations, relay cropping, no-till roller crimping, rotary hoeing, and weed burning/zapping.</image:caption>
