The 2016 Farm Management Seminar, a five-session workshop series, will focus on the financial education that goes along with operating a successful farming operation.

Although the farm management school targets those who are new to agricultural fields, any farmer, producer or agriculture-related industry person is welcome to attend. The goal of the program is to help young and beginning farmers learn how to become financially savvy and how to make their agricultural operations successful.

Topics will include:

  • Jan 7
    • What Is the Mission of Your Farming Operation?
    • Making Record Keeping Do More Than the Tax Return
  • Jan 14
    • Developing Your Balance Sheet
    • Basics of Finance

    • Developing Your Business Plan
