Are you ready? Dave Filson  of Penn State University pointedly asks: \u201cIf a disaster hit your farm or  ranch today, would you still be in business next month?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dave led a multi-state, multi-commodity effort funded by USDA NIFA  Special Needs to identify the critical points on farms and develop a  check list to help prioritize actions that need taken to improve  resilience* of individual operations. The assessment tool is available  at\u00a0.  If completed online, the action plan will automatically fill with the  control points that have not been completed, then the user can fill in  the specifics on how the item will be addressed and by when. The tool  has a general section that is broadly applicable to most types of farms  followed by sections specific to dairy, beef, swine, poultry, fruit and  vegetables, and crops. The user can select which sections apply and only  those will populate the online interface. Check it out and let me know  if you have any questions or suggestions!<\/p>\n<p><em> * I paraphrase the definition of resilience as \u201cthe ability to adapt to and survive disruptive change.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jmsmith\/files\/2011\/08\/RAall_web_logo.jpg\"> <\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<dl>\n<dt><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ReadyAG is multi-state collaborative project has utilized the expertise of Cooperative Extension professionals from multiple land grant universities in development of a set of disaster planning and continuity of operations worksheets for each of the major agriculture commodities.
