Making it Happen: Profitability and Success

This is a two-part workshop. Part I will be held on Friday, January 12th from 12-5:30pm. Part II will be held on Monday, January 29th from 12-5:30. 

Presented by Julia Shanks and The Carrot Project, Making It Happen: Profitability and Success training will give producers the ability to use four core financial management tools to improve decision-making. Participants will learn and apply financial management tools to their business that will help them answer questions such as: “Can I pay my bills?”, “Is a capital investment worth it?”, “Is this the right price?”, or “Should I add a new product line?” The training is intended for producers with at least one year of operating experience and is approved as a Massachusetts USDA Farm Service Agency borrower training.

**The workshop will be hosted simultaneously in two locations:

LIVE IN-PERSON: at  Holyoke Community College Kittredge Center Rm 303, 303 Homestead Ave, Holyoke.
