  2. Develop A Farm Plan • A farm plan is the umbrella under which other plans reside • Risk management is a component of each plan, not a separate plan

  3. A Farm Plan Includes: • Goals & objectives • Land use plan • Crop plan • Livestock plan • Resource inventory • Financial statement • Budgets • Income statement • Supporting data

  4. Planned vs Actual • Plans and decisions are made based on expectations • Evaluation should compare actual to expectations

  5. Risk • Risk is the possibility that an outcome or event will not meet planned expectations

  6. Risk Management • Risk management integrates production, marketing & financial decisions • Risk management is a planning process where you assemble and assess information • Every management decision carries risk management implications

  8. Risk Management Includes: • Evaluation of alternative plans & risk management strategies • Implementation of the plan • Monitoring the plan • Developing probabilities to formalize risk assessment

  17. Income Protection • Protects against a decline in actual revenue compared to expected revenue for a given year • Price protection varies each year

  18. Crop Revenue Coverage • CRC Provides: • Revenue guarantee, similar to Income Protection Coverage • Also provides replacement coverage, allowing for increased coverage if price increases
