Local Farmers Can Learn Risk Management at Delaware Ag Week Event

Local farmers will have the opportunity to learn valuable risk management strategies when Delaware Farm Bureau teams up with Nationwide for a special workshop during Delaware Ag Week. The educational session is scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, 2026, running from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Delaware Building.

Today’s farming operations must navigate an increasingly complex landscape of unexpected obstacles, including disrupted supply chains, volatile market conditions, and unforeseen disease outbreaks. The upcoming workshop aims to equip agricultural producers with the knowledge needed to anticipate and manage these challenges before they impact their businesses.

During the educational program, participants will learn about the Farm Risk Ready Plan, a comprehensive approach that empowers farmers to spot emerging risks, make informed decisions under pressure, and keep their operations stable during difficult times. The workshop will cover effective methods for building long-term business resilience, avoiding expensive disruptions, and safeguarding the agricultural enterprises that families have dedicated years to developing.

Attendees can expect to walk away from the session equipped with hands-on tools and valuable information to evaluate potential risks, build stronger defenses against uncertainty, and develop a comprehensive strategy that ensures their farming operation continues to thrive regardless of future obstacles.
