There are many reasons why someone may wish to start a farm. Before starting, a person should study the “plusses and minuses” of starting and operating a farm business. One way to approach this, is to look at some critical areas necessary to run a farm business.
During the day, various presenters will share ideas on how best to prepare yourself to evaluate starting or continuing a farm business. Some of the topics that will be covered are:
- Do I Have What it Takes? – Skills to Operate a Farm Successfully
- Ideas on How to Market Your Farm
- Voice of Experience – A Talk From a Beginning Farmer
