Risk Management Options for MI Specialty Crop Growers
March 1, 2023 9:00AM - 10:00AM
Virtual Via Zoom
Contact: Jonathan LaPorte
As a decision-maker on a farm, beginning farmers will need to manage many risks. Production risk brought on by weather is one of the most challenging risks to manage. It can not only significantly damage potential yields but also affect markets and revenues. Crop insurance was created as a cost-effective means to aid farmers in managing or reducing the impact of these risks. Join MSU Extension educator Jon LaPorte for a discussion on the basics of insurance options for specialty crop producers and how its use can benefit your farm. This includes understanding the differences between insurance policies, learning how each provides protection, and examining the advantages they offer.
