Staying Ahead of the Curve
As Dorothy so elegantly put it, “Toto, I’ve a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore.”
The days of pitchforks and overalls are gone; in its place, we now have consolidation and multi-million-dollar risk. So, how does a next-generation farmer stay ahead of the curve and out of the line of fire? Join the leadership at Maverick Ag as we break down how to monitor the finances to manage the risk. We will dive into the financial key performance indicators that every farm must know and how they directly affect expansion and capital investment on farms today, as well as how you can remain progressive in a high-risk environment.
The last generation made a large portion of their wealth in land; the next generation must do the same with operations, going back to the roots of production agriculture: growing grain.
