Planning is essential to any business, no matter how large or small your inventory, payroll and bank account. To be successful, a farm operation must know its current status and future plans. Keeping your business plan on your mind without putting it to paper is not enough! Join AAEDC’s workshop on April 3 and hear from University of Maryland Extension instructor Shannon Dill on how better business planning can lead to success. The class will teach agribusiness owners how to take time to formulate ideas, evaluate current operations, devise a strategy, and anticipate possible problems. Attendees will be given a workbook and CD to assist them in completing a farm business plan.
