We are hosting a workshop, out on by the University of MN Extention, “Taking Charge of YOUR Finances: How to Survive and Thrive

Program Overview

This short course will use an interactive and fun approach to teach participants how to organize and use financial records; develop and analyze financial statements; and make informed decisions regarding finances and production. Producer teams will act as loan review committees and and learn about these concepts as they review a case study farm.  The concepts covered promote better internal decisions for farm management and stronger relationships with external partners, such as farm lenders.  The doors will open at 9:00 AM with the class starting at 9:30 AM and will conclude around 3:00 PM.
