Western Region Agricultural
Stress Assistance Program (WRASAP)
Extension Risk Management Education
Extension Risk Management Education is delivered through four regional centers that provide grant funding and leadership within their regions. Each regional center is linked on our web site. Projects are producer-focused, outcomes-based and encourage public-private partnerships. Funded projects must identify targeted outcomes that will help producers manage risk and then describe how the project will measure those outcomes.
