The project
Human Risk Management for Agricultural Producers (HR 4 Ag & Main Street)
addressed issues related to human risk management. The target audience was
small to medium sized agricultural operations and small businesses in Nebraska
and the Midwest. The project utilized a multi-platform delivery approach.
In-person workshops were held across Nebraska. Online materials are also
available to producers. Web-based deliverables include a website with online presentations,
videos, accompanying materials, and interactive forums focused on specific
human risk management issues.
Our team presented
in-person workshops to two different audiences reaching 68 individuals. This
project assisted producers in 1) improving their communication skills, 2)
recruiting/retaining quality employees, 3) effectively training employees, 4)
increasing the well-being of themselves as well as their employees, and 5) improving
the safety of employees and families.
