If key decision-makers on a farm are unable to make decisions for a short time (two weeks to six months), how well would their farm operations continue?
University of Missouri Extension will host “On My Own: Planning for the Unplanned” workshops on short-term operating plans to help landowners and farm operators make sound decisions when preparing for the unexpected.
“Farmers can be sidelined by health concerns, cognitive issues, accidents and injuries, family caretaker duties, military deployment or anything else that inhibits their ability to make decisions and operate their farm,” Amie Breshears, MU Extension agricultural business specialist, said in a news release.
A short-term operating plan provides essential information and structure to keep the farm running until the key decision-maker is ready to resume their role, she said.
Participants will leave the series with knowledge of components of short-term operating plans, Breshears said.
The program is designed for female landowners and farm operators, but all are welcome to participate in this informal, participant-driven and learner-focused event, she said.
