- USDA Risk Management Agency’s Apiculture Pilot Insurance Program (API)
- USDA Farm Service Agency’s Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP)
- Missouri’s sales tax exemptions for beekeepers (the Missouri Sales tax presentation will be last, so out of state beekeepers can leave early)
Participants will learn how API provides a safety net against precipitation-related losses, how ELAP offers financial assistance for colony losses due to adverse conditions, and how understanding state tax exemptions can reduce costs.
The workshop costs $10 to attend.
