Young farmers and ranchers, for their part, say they’re not being handed anything and that they face major financial challenges. The strong crop prices that encouraged young farmers to get started are gone -- corn, which once sold for as much $8 per bushel, brings about $3.50 per bushel now -- but land prices, which soared during the boom years, haven’t come down.”
OSU Extension will be partnering with Farm Credit Mid-America to hold a Farm Management School this winter to address this need from the agriculture community. The series is for all those in farming or agriculture businesses interested in finances, business plans and how to make their operation successful.
What we will cover:
- January 3 - Farm Mission and Business Plans
- January 10 - Record Keeping and Balance Sheets
- January 17 - Budgets and Enterprise Analysis
- February 7 - Ag Law and Farm Transition
Presenters for the series will include Bruce Clevenger, Dianne Shoemaker, Sharon Harris, Peggy Hall and Sam Custer from Ohio State University Extension. Farm Credit Mid-America team members will also be presenters.
OSU Extension, Darke County would like to thank our sponsor Farm Credit Mid-America for their support in holding this program.
