About the LMFP

The Louisiana Master Farmer Program was created in 2001 in response to the threat of impending environmental regulation that could have significantly impacted agricultural production in Louisiana. This was a result of numerous lawsuits from environmental advocacy groups that claimed Louisiana was not addressing water quality issues in a timely manner. Consequently, the LSU AgCenter partnered with other agricultural organizations to ultimately develop a pro-active, voluntary program that addresses water quality, sustainability, and environmental stewardship while improving productivity. Program partners meet bi-monthly to discuss important program activities and events, as well progress on producer certifications.
