The Delaware Farm Bureau and University of Delaware Cooperative Extension are partnering to hold their 4th Annual Risk Management Conference at the Harrington Fire Hall on February 25, 2026.
Launched in 2022, the conference intends to help farmers mitigate risk on their operations. With ever-changing market conditions, it’s important that farmers use strategies to protect their bottom line.
This year’s conference will feature sessions on 2026 commodity crop budgets, the economics of agricultural technology, crop insurance options for 2026, grain market outlook, the economics of agricultural chemicals, retirement options for farmers, and understanding ambiguous loss. Speakers from the University of Delaware, University of Maryland, American Farm Bureau, and more will share insights on these topics. Attendees will also have the opportunity to earn one Delaware and two Maryland Nutrient Management credits.
The conference runs from 8:00am to 4:00pm on February 25, 2026 at the Harrington Fire Hall. Lunch will be provided, and the conference is free to attend; however, attendees must register. RSVP at defb.org/risk-management-conference/. Contact Nate Bruce, nsbruce@udel.edu, or Mikayla Paul, Mikayla.paul@defb.org, with any questions.
