This course is right for you if you’ve never taken a day of financial planning in your life! It is also an excellent next step for any farmer who has gone through New Entry’s Farm Business Planning Course or similar introductory program.
We create a friendly, informal environment to let you feel welcome and at ease with math-oriented topics. Course content will be integrated through collaborative work with a focus on project-based learning. Each project will be tailored toward the specific goals of farm management by providing relevant information and practical examples for you to build on their previous business experience. Course discussions will allow every participant to share experiences and learn from each other. Students will leave with a firm grasp on how to create and analyze a farm’s financial statements and build a budget and strategic plan based on their farm’s financial goals.
