Agricultural Risk Management
<<previous program | next program>>
Program Description
Agricultural
producers face markets with narrow margins and a great deal
of uncertainty. Tools are available to manage risk, but they
often come at a cost. Producers need to balance the cost
and benefits of risk management approaches to protect their
businesses from adversity while maintaining profitability.
The Agricultural Risk Management Program
provides educational programs and software tools to educate
producers and professionals on the concepts of risk management,
the tools available to mitigate risk, and the historical
returns to risk management approaches.
