Project Overview

The Iroquois Indian Tribal Confederacy (IITC) is a tribal non-profit that was created to serve the historically underserved and low income disadvantaged rural farming communities in Bladen County, Carvers Creek Township, North Carolina. The Iroquois Indian Tribal Confederacy serves many of the area’s live-stock, crop, and agricultural producers in under-served areas for producers who have traditionally been left out of the farm safety risk management net with the objective increasing crop development.  

The Iroquois Indian Tribal Confederacy Crop Education Program facilitated a working relationship and network with members of the North Carolina USDA Agriculture and Crop Insurance Education Partnership Program, RMA, and the Agriculture and Technical State University. The program delivered a high-quality, intellectual risk management education training sessions focused on helping every producer to gain access of risk management solutions with successful crop farming risk management tools that impacted and sustained producers that achieved success in the lives of the traditionally under-served communities in Bladen County, North Carolina that delivered crop insurance education.

The program focus of the county project conveyed 12 risk management educational sessions which was completed for the producers in farming, livestock, ranching, and other agricultural producers with the dissemination of education information on forage, farming, pasture, rangeland, and crop insurance at the Risk Management Agency. Presentations were conducted each session in person and was provided on the internet from the classroom to directly impact 100 producers with the project's goal to enhance, engage, and develop educational efforts in crop insurance education and related risk management.
