Custom Ag Solutions' Clif Parker presented risk management and crop insurance program information to Massachusetts cranberry growers participating in the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association (CCCGA) Winter Meeting & Environmental Workshops held March 5, 2010, in Hyannis, MA.

CAS' presentation was conducted as part of the USDA/RMA/CAS Massachusetts Targeted States Partnership, which exists to inform Massachusetts Agricultural Producers about the structure and benefits of Federal Crop Insurance Programs. The CCCGA is also a partner in the program and worked to coordinate and promote the event.

The CAS presentation began with a brief introduction to risk, risk management, and crop insurance principles. Next, the presenter provided a detailed explanation of the features, bebefits, and limitations of RMA's Cranberry and AGR-Lite Programs. Following the presentation, Mr. Parker spent time responding to attendees' questions and delivering one-on-one risk management consultation.  CAS also staffed a information booth at the event's trade show.
