Wayne County Location
The Eastern NY Commercial Hort Team and the Lake Ontario Fruit Team are offering a 1-day, hands-on course at 5 locations in NYS in January and February for tree fruit farms on using farm financial information and other resources to make decisions about long-term investments or changes to their business. We will apply the techniques covered in the 8-part webinar series in December to scenarios using sample financial data from fruit farms in NYS. You will work with others in a group through a series of problems and leave with a better sense of how you can organize and interpret your own financial information to make better long-term investment decisions about your farm business. The class is scheduled from 9:00 to 4:00. The fee for the class is $25pp to cover the cost of lunch/break food ($20 if you register early). The remainder of the cost of the program is covered by a grant from NERME (Northeast Risk Management Education).
Topics to be covered will include:
- How to use your financial records to evaluate your farm's performance
- Using Excel for analysis
- How to develop enterprise budgets and use tools like cost allocation, sensitivity analysis, net present value and payback period to assess the viability of a long-term change.
Everyone will leave with a resource book and template excel forms.
*Note: the recommended pre-requisite for this class is The Zoom Series and Hands-on Skills Class, a series of eight 1-hr webinars given by Liz in December. If you missed any of the webinars, the link is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9MjZiPJRy5pf4ujOndGK_jBEuNCRp9_f
