From the Cornell Small Farms Program
Dear farmers,
Most of us carry insurance for our home, vehicles and property. Not all of us consider insurance for our farm businesses, products or value added enterprises. In fact, many of you have shared challenges with finding insurance for parts of your business.
This flash poll is to help us understand more about the unmet needs in insurance for small farms. We want to know what types of insurance you purchase, challenges you face, and if you need more support for making insurance decisions. We are particularly curious about your interest in novel insurance packages for small farms that could better support your needs.
Please feel free to share openly and honestly in the poll. It should take you less than 10 minutes to complete.
The results of this poll will be summarized to inspire new ways to better support small farm risk management. Thank you for helping us understand if we should further explore this concept.
Wishing you abundant harvests,
Anu Rangarajan
Director of the Cornell Small Farms Program
