Thursday, September 15, 2022 • 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Brunswick County Conference Center, 100 Athletic Field Rd (Lawrenceville Plank Rd), Lawrenceville, VA 23868
Managing a farm is more than planting and harvesting crops or raising livestock. Farming is a business, and like any business, its success depends on proper planning and financial management. Darrell Tennie, of The Tennie Group, LLC, will conduct the program. The session will help new and established farmers and ranchers learn to develop business plans, keep efficient records and discover tips on mitigating business risks, as well as how to establish credit and borrow money. Participants will learn financial management strategies to help their businesses become more profitable and sustainable. They will also visit local farms through virtual tours and have an opportunity to talk with farmers about their business enterprises. Everyone will receive an Agribusiness Production and Financial Management Manual. At the end of the workshop, participants will know how to develop and maintain a business plan and set goals for their farm operations and enterprises. Lunch will be served.
