Farmer Friday & Saturday- Climate Adaptation for Emerging Farmers: How farmers can plan for a changing climate Our changing climate influences both long-term and day-to-day farm management decisions. In this session, learn about what changes to our climate we have already seen, what scientists expect for future temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather patterns, and hear how other farmers are coping with the stressors of climate change. We will share research about farmer health and safety, ways to improve farm resilience, and experiences from farmers who are already using resilience strategies. Learn about infrastructure options, funding programs, and techniques for supporting resilient farming in the upper Midwest. By the end of the session, you will be able to take home ideas and craft a climate resilience plan for your farm operation.
