Community Alliance with Family Farmers

PROGRAMS :: Risk Management Training for Diversified Family Farmers

In March 2003, CAFF presented a series of workshops about practical farm business strategies to farmers in Santa Rosa, Watsonville, Woodland, Santa Paula, Modesto and Lindsay. The USDA Risk Management Agency funded and partnered in this project.

The four-hour workshop sessions and free workbook were designed to assist diversified family farmers grapple with many elements that contribute to creating a financially healthy farming operation.

Each workshop included presentations by representatives of the USDA Risk Management and Farm Services Agencies, and local insurance agents. Farm and Agriculture Collaborative Training Systems developed the workbook content, available for download here in six sections.
