Join us on Wednesday March 26, 2025 at 6:30 PM for a webinar on business planning and budgeting for farm equipment! This webinar will focus primarily on small, diversified farm operations. New and beginning farmers are encouraged to attend! 

Our presenter is John Hendrickson from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. John coordinates research and training programs in organic and sustainable specialty crop production, marketing, and profitability at the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems. His work focuses on the economics and profitability of fresh market vegetable farming. He manages the Veggie Compass program, a spreadsheet tool to help diversified vegetable growers measure profitability by crop and market channel. Building on Veggie Compass, he has also helped design several other cost of production decision-making tools for other types of producers, including: Livestock Compass, OGRAIN Compass, and the forthcoming Fruit & Nut Compass and Hemp Compass. He coordinates the Wisconsin School for Beginning Market Growers, Midwest School for Beginning Apple Growers, and Wisconsin School for Cut Flower Growers.
