Pilot Projects
RMA pilot programs are special initiatives to help deliver outreach and education for areas of high need. Below you will find a description of each pilot program and learn how to engage with our partners who are delivering these programs.
Planting Confidence
Farming is a risky business. As such, training youth to understand risk management strategies before they take over the farm can support the future of America’s farms. The USDA Risk Management Agency has funded a 2-year pilot project called “Planting with Confidence” to support this goal.
Through this project, an online platform has been developed to provide simulations to help youth learn about risk in farming. The coursework available on the platform is freely available to Ag-Ed instructors, 4-H chapters, and other educators to introduce beginning producers to an array of risk management and crop insurance topics.
