CCE offers farm disaster preparation certificate course
Are you prepared if an emergency happens on your farm?
Could you benefit from a better understanding of what emergencies and disasters your farm is vulnerable to? Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County is hosting a Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate Course for farmers and their employees this month.
From participating in this one-day workshop you will:
• Learn what to invest in for disaster preparation that will provide positive returns to the farm, even if a disaster does not occur.
• Farm managers and employees increase their ability to respond to an emergency to reduce potential losses to the farm.
• A better understanding of what emergencies or disasters you are vulnerable to.
This low-cost workshop is Wednesday, Jan. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the Agricultural Education Center at CCE Madison County (100 Eaton St., Morrisville) and is $25 dollars, which includes lunch.
