Evaluating and Expanding Your Farm Business (2022)
Ruby Ward and Karin Allen, Utah State University
Description: This session will provide easy to use resources that allow farmers and others to evaluate their own operation. Simple Excel tools will be used to show how to examine the effects of inflation and prices and then develop their own strategies and plans. This will be followed by an overview of resources available through the Fundamental Resources to Assist Micro Entrepreneurs (FRAME) program, including guidebooks for starting a new value-added operation. The session will provide the motivation for the program, what is currently available and how to use it.
