In times of uncertainty, protecting your livelihood and assets is essential. Each farm and farm family has a unique experience and specific needs, but the success of Illinois farmers is vital for everyone in our state.
“With the converging crises of the COVID-19 pandemic, unpredictable environmental hurdles, economic hardships, and ever-changing agricultural legislation, the most innovative agricultural professionals need support,” says Jesse Schaffer, visiting Extension outreach associate, urban and innovative agriculture, with University of Illinois Extension.
Learning the tools to make proactive decisions in any farming operation reduces risk, increases resiliency, impacts profitability, and equips producers with the confidence to run their farms effectively.
Illinois Extension’s Legal Series for Illinois Small Farms webinars return with new session topics to continue assisting farmers across the state with the tools and resources required to address the needs of their farms. Producers focused on grain, livestock, specialty crops, or hobby farms can all strengthen their businesses through the sessions and tools provided by Extension’s local food systems and small farms team in partnership with Farm Commons.
