This risk management education packet was developed by Virginia State University Small Farm Outreach Program (SFOP) to educate small producers in Virginia on ways to mitigate financial, production, marketing, crop insurance and other farming risks. This was made possible by a grant funded project from the Southern Extension Center at Arkansas University.
