These changes include reduced government support for agriculture, global markets, changes in the structure of farms and agribusinesses, and changes in production and electronic technology. These changes pose major risk management challenges for operators and the urgency to develop and deliver an educational curriculum to address their needs. 'The major components of this curriculum are: understanding the operating environment; establishing a mission statement and goals; takingstock of your ability to handle risk; understanding and managing production, marketing, financial, legal, and human risks; and building a management team.
