Crop Insurance
Decisions in ‘05
Sponsored by:
USDA Risk
Management Agency
This workshop has two sessions that will aid farmers in making crop insurance decisions for 2005.
MORNING SESSION (FREE):
An update will provide information useful in choosing between alternative crop insurance products. The morning session is free.
AFTERNOON SESSION ($45):
A micro-computer lab will be used to demonstrate the FAST Risk Model for making crop insurance and marketing choices. This model shows how crop insurance products and marketing strategies would have performed historically. Users can modify input to reflect their own farm situations. In order to facilitate the computerized training, the afternoon session is limited to 25 participants. All participants in the afternoon session will receive a FAST CD, workshop notes, and a subscription to FAST.
FAST are a series of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets that help farmers evaluate various aspects of a farm business.
