A series of multi-county meetings that provided a commodity market outlook and risk management update helped farmers with their 2018 Farm Bill decisions and educated farmers on how to use crop insurance with price risk tools in protecting 2020 crop revenue. Twenty-three two-hour meetings were delivered from October 2019 through February 2020.  Over 900-extension clientele were reached, and over 55 FSA county directors received the farm bill analysis and information.
