Insurance and Risk Management

In the worst case scenario, insurance could be all that stands between you and the compromise of your entire business.

Get familiar with the insurance options available to cover your farm, and consider the various risks to your operation.  Crop failure, a food safety incident, or a farm tour gone wrong are just a few examples of potential crisis situations that could be on the horizon.  Face the future with confidence, knowing that you have prepared for the worst and get back to feeding the world.  In the event of a weather related disaster such as drought, freeze, or hurricanes, check with USDA’s Farm Service Agency for any available relief programs. See companion information on our Food Safety, Farm Safety and Labor pages.
