Project Overview
This project addressed price risk management
education for crop and cattle producer groups. The crop industry in Utah is
composed primarily of small to medium-sized producers. They continue to
experience volatility in prices from weather and industry related shocks,
affecting their net returns. Two interactive workshops were held at the main
geographical crop production areas of the state, one in northern Utah and one
in central Utah. Producers participated in education and interactive learning
exercises designed to improve their knowledge and abilities to manage their
return risk. Utah’s cattle producers have faced a steady surge in market price
risk, as result of changing feed grain and alfalfa hay costs. Three workshops where
held for Utah cattle producers with added emphasis on the younger cattlemen that
presented education on the use of insurance and futures markets (two workshops had
interactive material), providing them with management tools to mitigate their
marketing risk.
