Montana State University Extension will offer farm management workshops in eight communities, including Plains, this spring.
MSU Extension economists George Haynes, Kate Fuller and Joel Schumacher will lead the workshops. Other contributing faculty members will include agricultural economists Anton Bekkerman, Diane Charlton and Eric Belasco; family economist Marsha Goetting; cropping systems specialist Kent McVay; beef cattle specialist Megan Van Emon; rangeland weed specialist Jane Mangold; soil fertility specialist Clain Jones; and forage specialist Emily Meccage.
The two-day workshops will cover the following topics: financial analysis and enterprise budgeting, risk management, crop and livestock production, agricultural leases, agricultural policy issues and business succession.
The Plains workshop will be Feb. 12-13 at the 4-H Pavilion of the Sanders County Fairgrounds. The Tuesday session will be 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the Wednesday session is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sanders County Extension agent Juli Thurston said that people may attend the whole two-day session, or just the topic sessions that interest them.
Participation in these workshops will satisfy the requirements for Farm Service Agency production and financial management training. There is no cost to attend, but participants are asked to register by February 5 by contacting Keri Hayes at 406-994-3511 or [email protected].
