Umpqua Soil and Water Conservation District in Reedsport will host the Oregon Agricultural Trust for their Farm and Ranch Management Planning Workshop: “Business Plans & Basic Farm Financials”.

It will take place on Thursday, March 5th at the Elkton Community Education Center library on Highway 38 in Elkton. The event runs from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Presenters will have information on how farm business analysis tools such as business plans and farm financial statements can help with decision making and achieving the goals of a farm.

The material is designed for smaller or younger farm operators, producers who want to brush up on financial conversations and farms that might be thinking about making some changes that a business plan might help discuss.
