Virtual Farm Finance series

How well do you know your farm’s financial numbers?

Join the Purdue Extension EDGE in Ag Team for Know Your Numbers, Know your Options, a four-session virtual workshop designed to help farm operators better understand their financial position and use that information to make informed business decisions. The virtual Know Your Numbers, Know Your Options series will be held on November 17 & 24 and Dec. 1 & 8 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. EST.

Session highlights are as follows:
Week 1 – Goals and Recordkeeping
Week 2 – Cash Flow and Income Statement Fundamentals
