Please take three minutes to watch the video above, which explains how agricultural risk is generally viewed across five categories:

• Production Risk – Can I Grow It?
• Market (price) Risk – Can I Sell It?
• Financial Risk – Involves factors that threaten your farm’s financial viability.
• Human Risk – Relates to the safety, satisfaction, and productivity of a farm’s owners and employees.
• Legal Risk – Events or actions having legal implications that impact your operation.

Effective management of these risks generally determines the long-term viability of a farm or ranch operation.
