Enterprise risk is variability or uncertainty that arises at the enterprise level of management. At this level of management, most operators are focused on the implications of decisions made for a single enterprise or commodity, rather than the whole farm or ranch. Many, if not most, day-to-day management decisions are about the details of enterprise management.

Join us to learn more about the management of enterprise risk, a process to assist with risk identification right through to implementing treatment. Along the way learn about RightRisk Analytics tools for risk analysis, how to evaluate treatment effectiveness and the success of your risk management strategy.

Evaluating Lease Arrangements

Graphic of RightRisk Newsrelease

 
Leasing or renting pasture or forage is commonplace for many livestock producers across the West and is often an integral part of an operation. While there are many types of arrangements used, establishing a fair and equitable agreement for both parties involved can be a challenge at times. The Forage Risk Analyzer (FRA) tool, from RightRisk.org, is a spreadsheet-based tool designed to help a single or multiple parties (up to six) understand the full value of everything involved in a potential lease and formulate a more fair and equitable agreement. The tool divides contributions into six resource categories including: land, livestock, housing, stored feed, labor, and machinery. The user can allocate estimated costs and returns for up to six lease participants, after entering the basic information into the tool; the tool generates an allocation summary and performs net return and risk analysis based on the information submitted.
