Abstract:

Educating producers to manage risk and position their farm or ranch for future growth and success is the fundamental purpose of the Extension Risk Management Education (ERME) program.

The ERME program, funded by United States Department of Aagriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, provides training to help producers learn new strategies to manage complex and growing agricultural risks.

Established in 2001 and located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Agricultural Economics Department, the North Central Extension Risk Management Education Center (NCERMEC) has a long history of supporting risk management education programs serving producers in the region. NCERMEC, in conjunction with three other regional centers, conducts an annual competitive process to fund outcomes-based risk management education projects designed to empower producers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the uncertainties inherent in agricultural operations.

Includes a list of 2025 funded projects.
