Do you know which parts of your farm generate profits and which parts could use some work? Do you know how to set prices for your products? Without accurate figures, it’s tough to know where you stand. This workshop will help farmers more effectively set prices, improve profitability, and make good financial decisions. The focus is on vegetable operations, but other farms are welcome.
