Does your farm have an emergency plan of action in place if the need should arise?
Every year, farms across the country encounter disaster in one form or another - severe weather destroying farm infrastructure, a social media blowup threatening reputation, or a farm accident tearing up a family with grief; These crises can be heartbreaking, but they don't have to be the end of an operation.
In this program, Farm Broadcaster Mike Pearson shares the lessons he's learned from farm operations that have been through crisis situations, and he'll identify some common best practices for farm families or farm businesses to prepare.
You'll leave with a rough plan to be able to use when you return home.
