Project Overview

New York dairy and livestock producers are underserved by Federal crop insurance. This project delivered critical crop insurance and risk management education to these producers through regionally based Dairy, Livestock and Field Crop Extension team farm management educators. Practical, actionable crop insurance and risk management education was delivered through (1) multi-day workshops, (2) presentations at extension events, (3) articles in extension newsletters and the farm media, (4) podcasts, and (5) social media posts with infographics or short videos. The result was improved understanding of crop insurance and risk management concepts . Farm managers that participated in training activities improved understanding of risk management, analyze their practices, and, when appropriate, work with a crop insurance agent. These educational programs contributed to increasing use of crop insurance by NY dairy and livestock farms.
