Why This Course?
- Practical and Down-to-Earth: Learn to create a plan that spells out your farming goals clearly and compellingly.
- Friendly for Non-Writers: Hate writing? No problem. We'll introduce you to easy-to-use tools like ChatGPT and voice recognition to break down that writer's block.
- Numbers Made Easy: Feel overwhelmed by data and financials? We'll guide you through simplifying your farm's financials into a format lenders and grant reviewers love.
- Flexible and Time-Saving: Busy schedule? Our course is mostly asynchronous, with optional weekly Zoom sessions for direct support. Plus, you'll learn to make a plan that's easy to update in the future.
Your Investment:
For just $100, gain skills and a plan worth thousands if done by a consultant. You'll continue to have full access to your plan for edits and updates after the course ends. The registration fee includes support for one farm plan, but the whole team on your farm can join in on the learning!
