Investment Risk Assessment

Summary

We frame the topic of selecting a contract grazing role in terms of a person’s risk tolerance. Riskier investments tend to have greater potential returns on investment. Greater returns carry the chance of losing some or all of an investment. This assessment tool allows farmers and landowners to self-assess their risk profile and corresponding contract grazing roles based on five investment considerations: investment objectives, actual investment being considered, farming experience, net worth, and timeframe for investment.
