A must-download this fall, Risk Ranch is designed to help children look at agriculture as a business, whether they aspire to be a farmer in the future or just have an interest in learning where their food comes from. Fun and fast-paced, the single-player game engages kids with real-life content, challenging players to take on the role of a modern farmer and bring a steer to market. The app is based on an interactive Commodity Carnival experience developed by CME Group and National 4-H Council to teach youth the importance of agricultural economics and risk management.
Risk Ranch is free and available for download from both the iTunes App Store and Google Play. The app is also playable online at cmegroup.com/4Hcarnival.
