Umpqua Soil & Water Conservation District and Oregon Agricultural Trust will present a workshop on Business Plans & Basic Farm Financials on Thursday, March 5th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The event will be held at Elkton Community Education Center in Elkton.

Information will be provided on how farm business analysis tools such as business plans and farm financial statements can help with decision making and achieving the goals of farmers.

Oregon Agricultural Trust partners with farmers and ranchers to ensure that farm ground stays farming for the benefit of Oregon’s economy, communities and landscapes. One way that is accomplished is by helping advance the farm business conversation.

Organizers say the event will provide great material for smaller or younger farm operators, producers who want to brush up on financial conversations, and/or farms that might be thinking about making some changes that a business plan might help discuss.

The free event includes lunch. Advance registration is needed. Go to: https://www.oregonagtrust.org/events/2026/3/5/business-plans-and-basic-farm-financials. For more information, email: andrea@oregonagtrust.org with questions
