With successful marketing efforts, farmers can build customer loyalty, increase sales, and ensure the farm's profitability. With so many moving parts to consider, many farmers find creating their farm's marketing path can be challenging and uncertain.
Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate
October 16 - October 17, 2024
The Farm Disaster Preparation program will help farm owners plan for and manage possible disasters. This program focuses on practical pre-disaster education and preparedness regarding farm equipment safety on the road, fire or structure collapse, storm and wind damage, criminal activity, farm chemical risks, and biosecurity. Farms that complete the training will receive a certificate to provide to their insurer and may be eligible for a credit or discount toward the farm's annual insurance premium.
The Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate is directed to all sizes of farms and all types of products. Dairy and livestock farms are especially encouraged to participate in the program due to their additional concerns regarding animal agriculture.
