                    [post_content] => FLAG announces a new resource that is intended to assist organic farmers in time of disaster. It looks at two important issues. First, it discusses the extremely challenging effect of a flood on an organic farm. Second, this booklet discusses a relatively new form of crop insurance – Whole-Farm Revenue -- that could benefit organic producers going forward. Funding for this booklet was provided by UNFI Foundation, Wedge Community Co-op and USDA Risk Management Agency.
