SUMMARY:Pasture-based Beef Enterprise Calculator Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Proving that grass works using the Pasture-based Beef Enterprise Calculator \n\n\n\nJoin GrassWorks and Farm Viability Specialist John Hendrickson in a detailed tour of the new Pasture-based Beef Enterprise Calculator. This powerful (and free!) decision support tool is structured to examine the financial returns and land requirements of beef production in typical segments or phases of the industry: cow-calf\, stocker\, finishing\, and direct sale of meat. It can be used to look at only one segment or any combination. In addition to calculating the return in each phase on a per animal basis\, the user can generate a 5-year financial forecast and estimate land requirements by entering hypothetical data on how herd numbers will change from year-to-year. Participants will learn to use this tool and the importance of planning\, enterprise accounting\, and record keeping and be inspired to improve their farm financial management. \n\n\n\nJohn Hendrickson is with the UW-Madison Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems where he coordinates research and outreach programs in the area of farm financial management and farm financial benchmarking. \n\n\n\nRegister here! for the webinar

SUMMARY:Farm Transitions: Holding Ground\, Letting Go
DESCRIPTION:A guided approach to farm transition and legacy. \n\n\n\n\n\nHolding Ground\, Letting Go offers farmland owners a supportive space to talk through one of the hardest parts of farming: deciding what comes next for the land you care so deeply about.This workshop uses guided conversation to help you reflect on your connection to the land\, clarify what matters most to you\, and explore realistic options for transition at your own pace.  \n\n\n\nYou’ll be met where you are—whether you feel ready\, unsure\, or conflicted—and supported in thinking through small\, practical next steps that align with your values\, your family or operation\, and your hopes for the future of the land. Your farm transition planning journey will begin with two in-person workshops—February 24 and March 31—followed by ongoing individualized support from trained farm transition coordinators.  \n\n\n\nFree to participate.

SUMMARY:Direct Market Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Direct marketing through on-farm stores\, farmers’ markets\, or CSAs can be extremely successful. Whether you’re already established or just starting to look at the logistics of direct market sales\, there is no substitute for peer-to-peer intelligence. We’re forming a cohort of graziers to swap successful sales strategies\, troubleshoot the logistics that didn’t go as planned\, and build a collective knowledge base that keeps us all competitive. If you’re looking to sharpen your retail operation or simply want to learn from those who have already navigated this\, your perspective is welcome! \n\n\n\nVirtual event!
