In farm management, it’s crucial to handle risks properly to keep the farm running smoothly. Risk management means figuring out what could go wrong on the farm, like bad weather or changes in prices, and making plans to deal with those problems. By being ready for these challenges, farmers can make smart choices to protect their farm and make it more successful in the long run. It’s like having a backup plan for different situations so that the farm can keep going even when things get tough.
