CAS Delivers Training to New England Beginning Producers

December 26, 2018

Custom Ag Solutions recently kicked off its 2018-2020 partnerships with the USDA’s Risk Management Agency and AgRAEIS to provide Farming is Risky Business (FRB) workshops to beginning producers in the New England Region of the United States.

The FRB workshops introduce beginning producers to core risk and risk management concepts and to inform producers of the availability, benefits, and limitations of Federal crop insurance programs.  Under the partnership, CAS presenters held workshops in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Well over 400 beginning producers were reached through the workshops.

CAS appreciates the work of Connecticut FFA, Granite State FFA, and Massachusetts FFA for helping to coordinate the workshops. CAS also notes the cooperation and contributions of local Ag-Ed instructors for their efforts to ensure successful workshops.
