Nebraska Extension is hosting a crop insurance workshop for agricultural producers and agribusiness professionals on October 23, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Heartland Events Center in Grand Island, located at 700 E. Stolley Park Rd.
This workshop aims to help attendees improve their risk management skills and enhance their knowledge of crop insurance.
The event is designed for crop and livestock producers, insurance agents, marketing consultants, agricultural educators, and other professionals involved in risk management.
"Understanding crop insurance can give producers a financial advantage,” said Cory Walters, associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Failure to understand how it works can leave producers financially stressed and at a financial disadvantage.”
The workshop will cover several topics, including updates on the farm bill, discussions on current climate trends, and presentations on Annual Forage and Livestock Risk Protection insurance programs.
Additional sessions will provide a market outlook, insights into insurance and reinsurance, and an update from the USDA Risk Management Agency.
The event is part of a series organized by Nebraska Extension in collaboration with Kansas State University Research and Extension.
Registration is $100 and must be completed by October 14, with a $20 late fee after October 18. To register, visit https://cropinsure.unl.edu. For questions, please contact Cory Walters at 402-472-0366 or cwalters7@unl.edu.
