What can go wrong, will go wrong - especially on a farm! NY & NJ Veterans are invited to join Cornell Cooperative Extension Farm Business Management Specialist, Katelyn Walley-Stoll, to learn more about farm risk management in a FREE virtual seminar. This will take place on Wednesday, March 29th, 2023 from 6pm - 7:30pm via Zoom. Registration is required by visiting tinyurl.com/CCEMurph.
Good ole' Murphy's Law is probably the best description of what it's like to be a farmer that there is! Join Cornell Cooperative Extension Farm Business Management Specialist, Katelyn Walley-Stoll, to learn more about the 5 areas of risk on farms and how to develop strategies to manage those risks. Participants will have the opportunity to identify areas of risk on their own farms and brainstorm ways to (try to) prevent the inevitable!
