SUMMARY:Register Now: Holistic Financial Planning - Building Farm Profit into the Picture
DESCRIPTION:Cornell Small Farms Program is offering a course on Holistic Financial Planning! \nFrom Cornell Small Farms Program: “Have you been struggling to make your farm operation profitable without driving yourself into the ground? Our financial planning course will help you with the delicate balancing act that all farmers must succeed in: balancing healthy profits with healthy land and a healthy farm family and personal life. Take our Holistic Financial Planning online course and learn how to make financial decisions toward farm and family values and goals.” \nThis course is intended for farmers with at least one season of management experience and some record of their farm’s income and expenses (even if this information is stored on scraps of paper in a shoebox). This course will move at an intense pace\, with time to catch up at the end. If you have not yet started farming\, you are welcome to take the course\, but you may need to do extra legwork to research realistic potential expenses and income for your planned enterprises. \nIf you complete all aspects of this course\, you will: \n\nWrite a holistic farm and family goal that expresses what matters most\nPractice a framework for making decisions that moves you towards your goals\nCreate an annual budget that prioritizes your goals and limits your expenses\n\nThe bulk of the course happens on your own time\, with discussions\, readings\, and assignments in Teachable\, our online course platform. To add to the experience\, live webinars will be held during the live instruction period — January 16 – February 20 on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. ET. These webinars allow you to meet on a weekly basis to learn from presenters and ask questions in real time. If you miss one\, they are always recorded and posted for later viewing. \nMeet the Instructors: \nPhil Metzger is a farm and natural resources development consultant\, retired from a 31-year career as a Resource Conservationist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Phil instructs on various topics including: biological monitoring\, land planning\, farm\, personal & business financial planning\, goal setting\, and improved decision making. He is a certified educator of Holistic Management (HM) and has personally practiced HM for over 20 years. \nAllyson Angelini has a degree in Sustainable Agriculture from UMass Amherst and has worked on dozens of farms in New England and Italy. She owns and operates Full Heart Farm\, which she purchased in 2012 at the age of 24. She serves as a mentor for Holistic Management International and is a member of the National Young Farmers Coalition. Allyson was named one of CT Magazine’s 40 Under 40 in 2015\, as well as eWomen Network’s Emerging Leader of the Year for 2015. In BF 203\, Allyson shares the details of how she plans and manages her farm’s finances using Holistic Financial Planning. \nRegister Here: https://lists.cahnrs.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/sjcfarmandfood/378479496790/info/sjiagguild.com/

SUMMARY:Cornell Small Farms Programs-New Courses Starting in January!
DESCRIPTION:​Access to Capital​​ \nMondays: January 15 – February 19 \nIt can be very difficult to navigate the process of getting grants or loans\, especially if you did not come to farming with a background in finance. This course will cover the various aspects of seeking funding for a farm enterprise. \n​Vegetable Production II​ \nMondays: January 15 – February 19 \nContinue where Vegetable Production I leaves off – expand upon production from transplanting to harvest\, including information on in-season fertility\, integrated pest management\, weed control options\, harvesting strategies\, and tips for marketing your products. \n​ \n​Indoor Specialty Mushroom Production​​​ \nTuesdays: January 16 – February 20 \nMushrooms are an emerging niche crop and can easily be grown. This course trains new and experienced farmers in the background\, techniques\, marketing\, and economics of farm-scale indoor commercial production. \n​ \n​Mercados y Rentabilidad​ \nMartes: 16 de Enero – 20 de Febrero \n¿Tiene una idea para una empresa agrícola pero no está seguro de si es factible? Este curso le ayudará a explorar los mercados potenciales y la rentabilidad de sus ideas\, retomando el punto donde lo dejó BF 101: Como Iniciar su Negocios Agrícola. (Si no tomo BF 101\, no hay problema\, aun así puede tomar BF 102). \n​ \n​Goat Production​​ \nWednesdays: January 17 – February 21 \nInteresting in incorporating goats for dairy\, meat\, or fiber? Goats can function as a profitable stand-alone enterprise or can be integrated into your existing farm structure to provide a variety of products and make use of marginal lands that would otherwise go unused. \n​ \n​​Season Extension with High Tunnels​​ \nWednesdays: January 17 – February 21 \nAdding weeks to your growing season can mean attaining a premium for having products available well before (or long after) other local growers. This course will introduce you to unheated plastic-covered “high tunnels\,” covering cost\, management and more. \n​ \n​Sheep Production​​ \nWednesdays: January 17 – February 21 \nHave sheep or thinking about getting a flock? Producers of all experience levels will find something for them in this lively\, wide-ranging course. There is no one right way to raise sheep — this course covers many of these different options. \n​ \n​Soil Health​ \nWednesdays: January 17 – February 21 \nLearn how to develop a holistic approach to preserve and build healthy soil. The health and productivity of the soil forms the basis for any farm’s success\, profitability\, and ecological sustainability. \n\nOur program offers nearly three dozen online courses to help farmers improve their technical and business skills. These courses cover a range of topics any farmer needs to succeed. Experienced farmers\, extension educators\, and agriculture service providers guide students through course content\, including weekly live webinars\, videos\, and resources. Our suite of online courses is offered on a user-friendly platform\, which grants registrants permanent access to their course content. Also\, courses have tiered pricing based on household size and income to make access to the courses more affordable and equitable for everyone. \nNew additions to our online course suite include “Growing Uncommon Fruit\,” which will help you determine whether incorporating uncommon fruit into your operation is the right decision for you\, “Tree Fruit Scouting” on effective pest management\, and “Farm Strategies for Farmer Well-Being” on strategies to make your farm feel more manageable. \nIn addition to new courses\, we are expanding our Spanish-first online course offerings with our “BF 101: Cómo Iniciar su Negocio Agrícola\,” “BF 102: Mercados y Rentabilidad\,” and more coming soon. \nSee all course information here: \nhttps://smallfarmcourses.com/
