Risk indicators are not about predicting the future – no farm can eliminate uncertainty. They are about recognizing change early. Monitoring the right indicators can help farmers spot when something is shifting and take action before a manageable issue becomes a major problem.

Check out this article by our very own Mathieu Lipari, Risk Management Lead.

With thanks to our friends at Country Guide

Risk management is not about eliminating uncertainty, but making sure your farm is prepared ahead of time to respond to it.

In our recent Back to Basics column, contributor Jeanine Moyer spoke with Mathieu Lipari from Farm Management Canada/ Gestion agricole du Canada, who says that while the exact indicators to watch will depend on the farm’s size, sector, goals and greatest vulnerabilities, there are five key risk indicators every farm should watch.

Today, many farmers are working well into their seventies, eighties and even nineties.

At the same time, a younger generation is waiting for its turn to lead.

The "tension" between the two sits at the centre of one of agriculture’s biggest transitions: how do farms transfer ownership, knowledge and responsibility when farm owners are living and working longer than ever before?

Contributor Jeanine Moyer spoke with Chad Bouma from the Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing, Phyllis MacCallum from cahrc-ccrha and Heather Watson from Farm Management Canada/ Gestion agricole du Canada about how this transition shift is changing relationships between generations, and how on many farms, older farmers no longer have to disappear from daily farm life once leadership changes hands.

Instead, many multi-generational farm families are finding ways to redefine roles, allowing experience and innovation to work together.
