SUMMARY:Financial Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: Western Sustainability Exchange \nThe Financial Training Workshop in Miles City is the second session in this two-part series and is designed to build on the foundational financial skills introduced in the first workshop. Educators and agriculturalists will move beyond the basics to take a deeper\, more strategic look at their operation\, starting with defining their “why” and understanding how it drives financial and business decisions. \nTopics include evaluating and operating within different markets\, analyzing year-over-year financial trends\, and taking a long-term\, whole-picture approach to profitability. The workshop will also focus on practical management skills such as working on the business instead of just in it\, breaking out enterprises\, and implementing quarterly accounting procedures. Participants will learn how to build and use budgets throughout the year\, create accountability\, and bring the entire team or family into the financial process so everyone is aligned and moving toward the same goals. \nThis workshop is FREE but space is very limited! \nThis material is based upon work that is supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture\, U.S. Department of Agriculture\, under award number 2024-38640-42985 through the Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program under project number WPDP25-030.
