Managing The Risks Of Today's Agriculture

Utah farmers and ranchers have a rare opportunity to protect their agribusiness by attending one of 13 Risk Management seminars scheduled for early 1999. The seminars are traveling work training sessions designed to offer up-to-date information on smart farming and smart business techniques. A fee of $15.00 will help offset printing and room rental costs.

Risk Management can help you weather the storm of the current economics

A hard rain of uncertainty and challenge is hitting Utah farmers and ranchers. How good is your umbrella of knowledge to protect your business and your family? Utah State University is sponsoring a series of 13 public meetings throughout Utah. Industry experts on finance, the environment, production, marketing, the law, human resources, the Clean Water Act, and more will offer advice to farmers and ranchers.

"I encourage every farmer and rancher in Utah to find time to attend the seminar near you. The challenges facing agribusiness today are complex, and the time spent at these seminars can help us all protect our investment," said Commissioner of Agriculture and Food, Cary Peterson.
