For producers weighing the economics of current or potential farm enterprises, this free, in-person workshop connects production costs with marketing and technology decisions.
All times are local to the venue · America/Detroit
The workshop follows a farm-business decision from its cost side to its sales strategy: participants will consider enterprise budgets and production costs, then turn to marketing choices and technology in farm operations. The sequence makes the day relevant to producers evaluating an existing enterprise as well as those considering a new one.
The opening overview covers enterprise budgeting and cost-of-production concepts in agricultural economics. The organizers describe these as tools for farm-business decisions, including assessing the profitability of current or prospective enterprises.
That foundation gives the later marketing discussion a practical context: choices about selling and margins are considered alongside the costs a producer needs to account for.

The marketing topics include covering costs, setting margin goals, considering alternative markets and evaluating marketing prices. Together, they address how selling decisions relate to the expenses of an enterprise.
The workshop also includes instruction on digital agriculture and technology, with attention to integrating practices into farm operations to improve efficiency. The listing does not identify particular tools or promise a specific result.
