	Agricultural Risk Management: The Case of Wildlife Risks
	Publication #: B-1199 Date Published: 11/01/2009 Publication Author(s): Benjamin S. Rashford Jared M. Grant John P. Hewlett

Description:
When agriculture, wildlife, and risk are mentioned in the same sentence, thoughts often turn to risks agricultural production imposes on wildlife (e.g., habitat degradation and pesticide exposure). The imposition of risk can, however, work in the other direction as well. Wildlife populations on agricultural land create a unique set of risks for producers, few of which are considered in traditional risk management discussions. The purpose of this bulletin is to: 1) increase awareness of wildlife-related risks in agricultural production; 2) describe common wildlife-related risks in Wyoming and potential management strategies, and; 3) outline a systematic framework for managing wildlife risk.
