COLUMBIA, Mo. – The University of Missouri Extension and Risk Management Agency (RMA) offers four free Livestock Risk Management programs across the state through September.
The training prepares livestock producers to manage price and weather risk with federally subsidized insurance programs, said Ray Massey, MU Extension agriculture economist.
Massey said topics vary slightly by location to address specific concerns in those locations. General topics include market booms and busts, weather spurts and sputters, and livestock leases. Recent Farm Bill program subjects include the Livestock Forage Disaster Program, the Livestock Indemnity Program and the Dairy Margin Protection Program.
Topics getting special attention include those overseen by the USDA RMA: Pasture, Range and Forage Insurance, Livestock Risk Protection and Livestock Gross Margin. A new tool developed to help producers understand pasture, range and forage insurance will be demonstrated.
Programs are in Savannah, Nevada, Mexico and Sedalia. Dates, times and locations are: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday, July 22, Clasbey Community Center, Savannah; 6 to 9 p.m., Tuesday, July 22, Fairgrounds Diner, Nevada; 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20, Audrain County 4-H Center, Mexico; and 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3, FCS Financial, Sedalia.
