Creating a Farm Continuity of Business Plan

Shannon Dill (April, 2020)

Summary

A continuity of business (C.O.B) plan is created to outline business functions in the event of a major disruption. It addresses issues such as loss of income, protecting employees and essential business activities. Businesses large and small should develop a plan and create a document that shares essential business operations in preparation, during and following a major disruption in business operations. For farms this is especially important because of contributions to the food supply and the essential function of taking care of crops and animals.
