USDA RMA Risk Management Education Partnership 53102-005

Presentation overview Forage producers often become complacent when they hear the term risk management Misunderstanding the terms risk and uncertainty Complacency in evaluating risk outlook Thinking that risk management is limited to futures, options and forward contracting and that there are limited management actions for forage producers Thinking crop insurance isn’t available for forage production Lack of trust in programs Risk management contains a number of levels Sources of risk Risk bearing ability and attitudes Tools for managing risk

Risk and Uncertainty Risk Uncertainty Risk is present when future evens occur with measurable probability For example your individual farm/field forage yield Price Car insurance The larger the error of measurement the larger the risk The larger the impact on farm revenue the greater the risk Management actions can be made to mitigate risk Uncertainty Indefinite, indeterminate, and occurs so infrequently that an numeric estimate of its occurrence can not be made so there is no specific management tools that can be implemented. Uncertainty Risk
