ABSTRACT

News flash: Agriculture is risky! If you don’t believe that, don’t waste your time reading this book. If you do, then get comfortable-you’re in the right place. Applied Risk Management in Agriculture is designed to help decision makers better recognize risks, understand their personal attitude toward risk, and manage risks specific to their own operations. The information provided within these pages does not just inform and educate, but also enables managers to develop workable risk management plans and put them into action; it also can equip college students with the tools to do the same when they move into their careers.
