•  Crop Insurance 101-En Español: instructional DVD that focuses on the basics of purchasing crop insurance for new and beginning farmers. The  DVD includes three different interviews with real farmers that include a producer interview, an RMA live broadcast radio show at KDNA a Spanish Language Public Radio station and 2009 policies being discussed with two producers by a crop insurance agent.

• Crop Insurance informative Booklet (comic book-like) was also developed by the Center throughout the 2008 year, in this booklet two fictional stories about small producers from the Yakima County show what it means to them having a loss in their farms, one of them not having insurance coverage compared to the other one that did acquire an insurance policy. 

This booklet is very simple and basic; if you wish to obtain a FREE copy of this booklet or the DVD please contact the Center.


•  2010 Resource Calendar, which contains USDA important dates, deadlines and information for our clients and those involved in the agriculture industry.
