Hi Folks, As the winter begins, many farmers and ranchers are reviewing their business structures, considering diversification options, and developing strategic marketing goals and events for the upcoming year. Wintertime offers the perfect opportunity for farmers to jump start another season by resolving their legal vulnerabilities. At Farm Commons we believe: Every farmer and rancher can build legal resilience. Every agriculture support person can help them get there. Beginning in January, we’re offering two online interactive workshops to support this vision: Discovering Resilience: A Legal Workshop for Farmers and Ranchers Guiding Resilience: A Legal Workshop for Ag Service Providers Find out more details below and by clicking on the links. Register Today, as spaces are limited! Discovering Resilience <https://farmcommons.org/workshops/discovering-resilience/?utm_source=generallistserv&utm_medium=listserv&utm_campaign=aprildr> empowers farmers and ranchers with the knowledge to identify and resolve their most pressing legal vulnerabilities. Upon completing this 5-week interactive workshop you’ll learn the 10 best practices of farm legal risk management, build an individualized action plan so that you can take immediate steps to build your farm’s legal resiliency, and connect with other farmers going through similar situations.
