• 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.
