The Department of Agriculture will co-host a webinar focused on livestock risk management. Along with the Extension Risk Management Education Program, USDA will host the webinar on November 12. The webinar is free to attend and will provide information on livestock markets, price risk, and risk management options. USDA’s Bill Northey says, “The information that will be presented here will be invaluable to livestock producers who have an interest in the various risk management tools available to them through USDA.” The webinar is scheduled for 2-3 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, November 12. Producers can register at farm.unl.edu/webinars. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, November 17, USDA will host the first in a series of four evening webinars from 7-9 p.m. Eastern. The Cattle and Carcass Training series is designed to assist producers, feeders, and others who want to better understand the reporting, delivery, and grading of feeder cattle, live cattle, and carcasses, particularly relating to CME live cattle futures. The webinars are free, but registration is required.
