Survey to Help with Development of Risk Management Materials

The AFRI Extension, Education & USDA Climate Hubs Partnership project, ‘Assisting Farmers and Ranchers with Assessing and Mitigating Insurable Weather and Climate Risks in the Southwest and Northern Plains’ is inviting regional producers to provide input on their information needs. The five-year integrated project is collaborating with the Southwest and Northern Plains Climate Hub staff and regional education and extension stakeholders to develop improved educational materials, modes of communication, and issue expertise that will help in assisting farmers and ranchers to better assess the sources of past crop and livestock production losses due to weather and climate disruption, as well as explore future projections for these causes of loss. The survey is available online. All answers will remain anonymous, and the information will be used in the second phase of the project to develop new and improved models and materials for extension communication related to weather and climate change risks.
