Biosecurity Workshop

In this free, one-­day commodity-­specific workshop, an experienced veterinarian or crop specialist will show you the benefits of having an on-­‐farm biosecurity program, and identify key practices, which will help you in increasing the biosecurity on your farm. Having a biosecurity program in place helps to protect the investment of your farm business.

The workshop is open to new and established producers. Farm families and management teams are encouraged to attend the workshop together. You will not be asked to share personal or financial details of your operation and there is no charge to attend.
