This newsletter is devoted to articles and other resources that organizations making application to the Extension Risk Management Education (ERME) Grants program can benefit from to write strong and award winning proposals. The Western Center Director – Shannon Neibergs, outlines the RFA process in the introductory article, which also highlights Western region risk priority areas and introduces the concept of performance measures which is discussed in depth in our feature article. This month’s project success story features grower education on financial risk for California producers. This issue also includes a link to Montana Agricultural Land Leasing – with lease rates, guides and presentations that have applicability across the west.
