Project Overview
UNH Cooperative Extension, partnered with the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) to reach at least 468 NH producers through educational outreach, which addressed risk management strategies for production, marketing, finance and labor. Programs included two field days, demonstrating sprayer calibration and farm equipment usage for women farmers; two webinars on women farmer wellness; a Succession and Retirement Planning Annie's Project-Inspired hybrid program; two beginner farmer demonstrations and networking field days; five webinars on growing and marketing specialty crops; and the production of an on-farm greenhouse construction demonstration video. Programs also included education on Federal crop insurance products, including the use of crop insurance to manage risk and in making decisions on appropriate crop insurance, and the effect crop insurance may have on other risk management decisions. Programs targeted small farms, beginning producers, and women producers operating diverse enterprises. Producers increased their knowledge and skills in the short-run, with the intent of strategically implementing changes over time to improve overall farm viability.
