Nursery Simulation

The Nursery simulation puts students in charge of a plant nursery operation rather than a traditional row-crop or livestock enterprise. Students decide what to grow, how to manage price fluctuations, and how to protect against the consequences of risky events.

It's a great way to show students that agricultural risk management isn't limited to corn and cattle — specialty and horticultural producers face the same core decisions.
