Although "it takes money to make money" - not all expenses in your business create value. On the other hand, underinvestment in your business, cutting costs that undermine the quality of your product or market, or that are detrimental to safety, your quality of life or your values can shoot you in the foot in the long run too. Knowing how to assess where to cut expenses to enhance profitability is an art form. Join CCE Central New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Ag Business Educator, Nicole Tommell and NY FarmNet Business Specialist Gabe Gurley, for a one hour program Knowing Input Costs to Maximize Profits.
This program is the second of three Farm Business Management Tuesdays planned for this winter. Join us on January 12th for Assessing and Using Credit in Your Agricultural Business and on January 26th for Cash Flow Management and the Annual Operating Cycle.

This series is supported by ag business management specialists from the following Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell University programs: the Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program, the Central New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Team, the Eastern NY Commercial Hort Program and NY FarmNet.
