The Farm Disaster Preparation program will help farm owners plan for and manage disasters that might occur. This program focuses on practical pre-disaster education and preparedness, regarding farm equipment safety on the road, fire or structure collapse, storm and wind damage, criminal activity, farm chemical risks and biosecurity. Farms that complete the Farm Disaster Preparation training will receive a certificate to provide to their insurer and may be eligible for a credit or discount toward the farm’s annual insurance premium. The value of the credit or discount will vary according to individual policies and policyholder circumstances but can be up to a 10 percent discount.
Certificate program will be held on Tuesday March 10, 2020 at the Cooperative Extension Center located at 5435A County Road 48, Belmont, NY from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Space is limited and pre-registration is required by March 3rd. There is a fee for this program.
