Michael Brouk, Kansas State University

November 7, 2013 12:00 PM Central

Just a few areas he plans to cover include commodity shrink, mixer errors, refusals, and expense of inventory.

Farm Crisis Planning Webinar - October 23rd

 The National Pork Board is extremely excited to be hosting this Webinar for just the Extension Educators from across the United States.  As I visited with several of you in Pittsburg, PA at the Galaxy Conference.  This program is designed to assist a producers set up a Crisis Plan for their operation.  We at the National Pork Board have modified the original intent of the program and have applied this program to other areas of our industry.  We have taken most all of our state pork office staff their this program and each of them have utilized the temples to develop a plan for the office.  The other way we’ve adapted the program is we have taken the National Junior Swine Organizations through the Crisis Planning as well to allow these groups to establish a Crisis Plan for the different shows that they host across the country. 

The National Pork Board feels that each of you Extension Educators could utilize pieces of these templates within your own counties. 
 

A reason each of you should attend this Webinar on Crisis Planning program is to be able to utilize the Crisis Planning templates for you county fairs, field days or other activities you each host.  It never hurts to be prepared. 

Below you will find the information needed to get signed up for the Webinar.

Thank you
