Two four-part series offered on farm financial and operational management courses

“Know Your Numbers, Know Your Options” is a discussion-based workshop to connect farm managers and subject-matter experts in the areas of financial records and interpreting results.  Participants should plan on attending each of the four workshop dates.

This program is geared toward women in a discussion-based format, yet all participants are welcome to participate regardless of race, gender, or any other protected status. Participants will find many opportunities for questions, sharing, and connecting with the presenters and other participants.

Two four-part sessions are being planned in November – one in-person in Northwest Minnesota and one online. The in-person series will be in Crookston from 5:30 to 9 p.m. November 3, 6, 10, and 13. A light meal is included.

Virtual series will be from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. November 11, 13, 18, and 20.  The course requires participants to have an internet connection for interactive discussion-based sessions and involves pre-/homework that is self-paced.

For more information or to register for either of these offerings, go to z.umn.edu/MNAnniesProject.

Upon completion of this program, participants will have a better understanding of how financial records can be used to make decisions.

While no single person is credited with the exact phrase, Marcus Lemonis’s popular quote, “If you don’t know your numbers, you don’t know your business,” underscores this concept, highlighting that financial understanding provides clarity and empowers strategic choices.
