Marketing, soil management, energy use, access to government commodity and conservation programs, and even the changing climate all present opportunities for positive change. And change we must. The latest issue of ATTRAnews, "Ready for Challenges," looks at ways farmers and ranchers can strengthen their operations and prepare for the unexpected.
