Winning The Game—Land and Launch Your Marketing Plan

U.S. farmers are the most productive crop producers in the world. Unfortunately, good yields don’t always translate into good profits. Some factors are beyond a producer’s control, but marketing doesn't have to be one of them. Attend this program to learn how you can fine-tune your marketing plan and improve your bottom line. There is no fee for this program thanks to the generous support of the First National Bank Northeast. Preregistration is requested to help us plan and prepare materials for participants.

2008 Land Managers Update: Trends and Flexible Cash Provisions

 “What’s the going rate for cash rent?” That’s been a common question in the last year. We’re in a whole new arena with current land, input and commodity prices and determining what’s a fair cash rent is more difficult than ever. This program will cover land value and ownership trends, share vs. cash rent trends and flexible cash provisions in rental arrangements. It is for landowners and tenants. Discover how flexible cash provisions may eliminate the need to renegotiate cash rental rates each year. For more information contact John Wilson, extension educator, at (402) 374-2929.
