Winter season is meeting season for many agricultural producers. Unfortunately it is also cold/snowy season (especially this year) and sometimes limits the ability to attend meetings. Hopefully, though, these two meetings coming up will see more favorable conditions for travel.
AG RISK MANAGEMENT SEMINAR-Sidney, February 16 & Glasgow February 18
Duane Griffith who is MSU Extension's farm management specialist has been helping local agents across Montana conduct seminars for both farmers and ranchers. The Ag Risk Management Seminar will provide information, tips, and strategies to allow farmers and ranchers to make educated decisions when it comes to managing risks on their operations.
The focus of this seminar is to explain what options producers have, whether it be insurance, government programs, marketing, or combinations of each, to help alleviate some of the risk involved in producing crops and livestock. Both programs will consist of a morning session geared towards crop producers and an afternoon session that will focus on options for livestock producers.
For more information about the seminar in Sidney, contact the Richland County Extension Office. To find out details regarding the meeting in Glasgow, contact the Valley County Extension Office.
