This $499,354 project grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program aims to improve the knowledge, profitability, and risk management decisions of U.S. farmers and ranchers. The project will be conducted through a collaborative partnership between three farm business management associations in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska, as well as two land-grant universities (Ohio State University and University of Nebraska-Lincoln). Key objectives include maintaining and expanding the National Farm Financial Benchmarking Database, expanding farm management educational programs, and increasing the number and quality of financial records contributed to the database. The project will also support research to better understand the role of information avoidance in financial risk management decision-making. The award includes sub-grants to Mitchell Technical Institute, The Ohio State University, and the North Dakota Farm Management Education Association to support their contributions to the overall partnership and project deliverables.
