The Trainer-the-Trainer material presented here is taken from
The Summit, a national Risk Management Education "kick-off"
coordinated by USDA on September 16 & 17, 1997, in collaboration
with other national agribusiness leaders. This summit reviewed
the range of risks faced by agricultural producers and the tools
currently available to manage those risks. Discussions emphasize
how risk management techniques could work together to ensure that
a farm enterprise can survive and prosper.
