Agriculture Risk Management Education Partnerships Competitive Grants Program
The purpose of the Agriculture Risk Management Education Partnerships Competitive Grants Program (ARME), Assistance Listing 1 0. 520, is to educate agricultural producers about the full range of risk management activities.
These activities include futures, options, agricultural trade options, crop insurance, cash forward contracting, debt reduction, production diversification, marketing plans and tactics, farm resources risk reduction, and other appropriate risk management strategies.
The program places special emphasis on risk management strategies, education, and outreach specifically targeted at:
(A) beginning farmers or ranchers; (B) legal immigrant farmers or ranchers that are attempting to become established producers in the United States; (C) socially disadvantaged farmers or ranchers; (D) farmers or ranchers that (i) are preparing to retire; and (ii) are using transition strategies to help new farmers or ranchers get started; and (E) new or established farmers or ranchers that are converting production and marketing systems to pursue new markets.
The Agriculture Risk Management Education (ARME) program brings the existing knowledge base to bear on risk management issues faced by agricultural producers and expands the program throughout the Nation on a regional and multi-regional basis.
