Managing farm assets session Oct. 28 at Canton Learning Farm
Thursday, October 15, 2009, 11:39am
CANTON -- The Cornell Cooperative Extension Associations of Northern New York are offering “Valuing Your Assets,” workshops with guest speakers who will share tips on organizing, valuing, buying, selling, refinancing and managing farm assets to improve farm profitability.
The economic times have farmers watching the value of many of their assets fall. Farmers are asking themselves, “What can I sell? What do I need to buy to support my farm now and into the future?”
A free Valuing Your Assets program is set for 12:30 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28 at Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County’s Learning Farm on Rt. 68.
Speakers for the program are farm business consultant Ed Staehr from NY FarmNet, a confidential network of support services to help farm families deal with life challenges and transitions, who will talk about how NY FarmNet can help farmers develop a financial strategy; NY FarmNet financial consultant, auctioneer, and retired Cornell Cooperative Extension farm management specialist Jerry LeClar, who will discuss getting organized to sell assets and how to get the most value from assets you are selling or buying; and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County Director Anita Deming, presenting “Net After-Tax Income Considerations.”
Registration is requested by Oct. 22. Call 379-9192.
