Farmers with at least five years of experience are invited to participate in a virtual, two-hour workshop focused on how individual financial values impact business planning.
The UMaine Extension event is set for 1-3 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28.
The Communicating about Personal Money Values workshop will introduce farmers to a variety of finance-related themes. Topics include personal financial health, financial resources, and how farmers’ personal values affect planning for the future. The workshop is designed to empower farming communities and propel agricultural growth throughout Maine.
The workshop, led by farm coach and Apple Creek farmer Abby Sadauckas and business advisor and farm coach Sylvie Boisvert, also will encourage participants to explore personal time management and priorities, hear from other farmers about their financial decision-making, discuss individual and business values and provide an opportunity to talk with other participants.
An option for further farm coaching and credit counseling for continued support also is available.
Sponsored by a grant from Northeast Risk Management Education, the workshop is free; registration is required.
