4-day course will examine revenue strategies, retirement, credit and other issues
SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE
Nevada agricultural producers can learn how to increase revenue, lower costs and deal with credit shortages in a free, four-part course being offered around the state by University of Nevada Cooperative Extension and the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources.
The program, “Successful Agribusiness Management Strategies,” will be divided into half-day workshops and presented at eight locations simultaneously through Extension’s interactive video network. Funding for the program was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency.
The workshops will examine:
- alternative enterprise feasibility and risk analysis
- dealing with credit issues and bankruptcy
- retirement strategies, along with estate and farm transition planning
- crop diversification and growing techniques for arid Nevada
“These workshops are just another way the University and Cooperative Extension are helping Nevadans during these difficult economic times,” said Cooperative Extension Dean and Director Karen Hinton.
Kynda Curtis, an assistant professor in the University’s Department of Resource Economics, will lead the training. She said the program will include valuable information to help all Nevada agricultural producers become more stable and profitable.
