Farm Viability Tools & Planning

TAKE THE CHALLENGE:

Set a viable course for your farm business by setting a goal to learn about a suite of financial management tools and best practices that you can use to begin developing a farm viability strategy for your farm business.

Start by taking the quick quiz below to learn how you can take a first step towards this goal! Taking the quiz will also help you decide which break-out session at the Farm Viability at our Skill Share! Virtual Resource Fair will best help you improve your business.

After taking the quiz, you can learn more by viewing the “Farm Viability Foundations”. These resources will introduce you to some of the basics we’ll be learning about through our Farm Viability Cohort Training Program. If you are interested in diving deeper and developing a viability strategy for your farm, consider applying for our WFN Farm Viability Cohort Training Program – coming the Fall-Winter of 2022. We’ll also be developing coursework that will be open to the general public and developed with farmers who participate in the training program. To learn more, email: India.Clark@oahurcd.org
