Abstract:

The North Central Extension Risk Management Education (ERME) Center has existed since 2001 to help support producer-focused agricultural risk management education across the twelve-state North Central Region. The Center works together with centers in other regions of the country to implement a comprehensive program of needs assessment, regional grantmaking, capacity building, and evaluation and reporting to support projects that help producers manage risk and document the outcomes and impacts of those projects.

The last two Cornhusker Economics articles have described the Center and its activities and have highlighted the successes of some recently funded projects. This article concludes the discussion with a focus on the outcomes and impacts of the funded projects and the overall risk management education program.

The focus on outcomes is a core principle of the Center’s regional competitive grants program. In fact, grant applicants are required to identify expected outcomes of the proposed educational projects as part of the application process. Unlike research projects where the expected outcome may not be known, these educational projects are focused on reaching producers with information, tools, and training that will help them achieve intended outcomes across the level of understand, develop, and implement.
