Assessing the Financial Ramifications of and Options for Significant Change to Your Farm Business
The inflationary economy is upon us! The huge influx of money into the US economy following the COVID-19 pandemic has manufactured high prices and in turn increased operating costs for farm business thus forcing many businesses into net operating loss situations. Other farms are facing high labor costs or chronic labor shortages. Some farms have taken on debt loads that make these increased costs unaffordable. Depending on the stage in the business lifecycle, it may make sense to change enterprises or exit the farming business entirely.
Join CCE ENYCH Ag Business Educator, Elizabeth Higgins, and CAAHP Ag Business Educator, Dayton Maxwell, for a one-hour program to learn about the financial aspects of changing or exiting a farm business.
$10 per person. To register: https://caahp.ccext.net/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=144
