Farm Management in Tough Financial Times

Author: Jonathan Shepherd

Planning Unit: Agr Economics

Major Program: Farm Management

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Worked with a farm family that was suffering significant farm financial stress given current farm economics.  It was determined that pivoting from the current business model was needed to ensure economic viability.  I worked with the farm family to help them develop a new business plan and a 3 year transition plan.  We are in year 1 of the transition and things are going to plan.
