Risk management education partnership program

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency awarded a $244,420 Cooperative Agreement under the Risk Management Education Partnerships program (CFDA 10.460) to Cross Over Community Development, a minority-owned non-profit organization located in Dayton, Ohio. The award, effective September 1, 2024 through February 28, 2026, will support the delivery of comprehensive risk management training and educational resources to agricultural producers across the United States, with a focus on underserved and limited-resource farming communities, as well as producers of specialty crops and crops not currently covered by federal crop insurance. The funding will enable Cross Over Community Development to develop and implement educational materials, workshops, training sessions, and outreach activities designed to enhance agricultural producers' ability to effectively manage production, marketing, financial, legal, and human risks.
