When Things Go Wrong on the Farm

A six-part virtual workshop series to help farmers prepare for risk, respond to challenges, and build more resilient farm businesses.

Accidents can happen on any farm, but planning ahead can help you reduce the chance of injuries and respond more effectively when they do. In this workshop you'll learn practical ways to reduce your risks an what to do when an accident happens.

Jason Charette of American National will discuss workers’ compensation for farms, including coverage basics and considerations for small and beginning farm businesses.

Additional speakers and session details will be announced soon!
