Episode 79: Farming Is Risky Business

In this episode, “Farming Is Risky Business,” Tracy speaks with Peter Manness from MNP about the various risk management tools available to protect your farming operation.

In this three-part episode, we begin with an outlook of today’s farming economy. In the second part, Tracy and Peter explore each of the tools available and complete the segment with a discussion on how the tools can complement each other. In the third and final part, they explore the question ‘What’s Right for My Farming Operation?” They discuss the adoption rate of the most common programs, why farmers might not use these tools, being over insured/under insured, and Peter provides some final considerations to help you determine how much coverage is correct for your farming operation.

Now more than ever, farming is definitely a risky business, and we owe it to ourselves, our farm, and our future farming generations to do the best job of protecting our farm and farm assets. Do yourself a favor a tune into this episode.

If you enjoy this episode, make sure to stay tuned for additional March and April episodes of The Impact Farming Show, where we will dive into each one of these tools with a dedicated episode and program expert.
