"Pricing and Profits"
Course Materials
Couldn't make it to the 1 ½ day "Pricing and Profits: Making
the Right Decisions for Small-Scale Farmers" finance short course
during the 2009 Southern SAWG conference? Now have the next best thing
— three crucial presentations from this course are now
available on our website. Jim Munsch and Alex Hitt took participants
through a step-by-step process in order to make better informed
financial decisions. The three presentations — The
Beef Cost Model, The Vegetable Cost Model, and Figuring
the Cost to Own and Operate Farm Machinery —
presented the critical first step in developing a complete farm
financial plan. Click here to
download these and additional materials from other short courses
developed by Southern SAWG.
This
course and materials were developed, in large part, through support
from the USDA RMA Small Sessions program.
