The AGvisorPOD - Farm Financial Benchmarking
play

07/06/23 • 60 min

How well is your farm doing? In order to answer that question, there’s several things to establish first. What metrics best reflect the overall health of a farm? Cashflow? Unit Cost of Production? The amount you’re leveraged?
What areas of your operation require improvement, and what do you tackle first to get the best ROI? How do you stack up against similar sized operations in your area, and what kind of expertise will you need to engage to answer all these questions?

These are some of the key points that will be covered in AGvisorPRO’s upcoming June 2023 webinar. We will talk about the importance of having benchmarking tools in your toolbox, and how to think about all these statistics and the numbers when making decisions that impact your operation’s well being. .

We will also be discussing the importance of farm peer groups and explore why.
