Adaptation Resources for Agriculture: Case Studies using the Adaptation Workbook presents case studies of farmers and ranchers using the Adaptation Resources for Agriculture guide to create a climate risk management and resilience plan for their operation. While the “menu” of adaptation strategies and approaches presented Adaptation Resources of Agriculture was developed for the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States, many of the strategies are pan-regional and parallels can be drawn to region-specific issues. The case studies in this resource include: Artisan Cider Apple Orchard (WI), Organic Dairy Farm (WI), Integrated Crop/Livestock Farm (TX), Small-Scale Pastured Lamb Farm (IN), Small-Scale Mixed Specialty Crops/Livestock (CO), Small-Scale Specialty Crops (AK), Small-Scale Hay/Specialty Crops (AK), Small-Scale Specialty Crops (PR), Confined Broiler/Pastured Beef Farm (MS), Commodity Row Crops (AR).
