Upcoming Webinar
The Importance of Farm Financial Benchmarking
How well is your farm doing? What are the areas requiring improvement? How do you stack up against similar operations? Farming is more than just putting a crop in and taking it off. Ensuring that you have adequate margins and are meeting costs of production is just as important as meeting yield goals. Our panellists will discuss the importance of having a benchmarking tool and how to leverage the numbers when making your marketing decisions. We will also be discussing the importance of farm peer groups and explore why this is an important consideration for farmers of all sizes.
Join our host Rob Saik, and panellists Terry Betker of Farmcaster, Josée Lemoine of Backswath, and Lawrence Klusa President of Seges Marketa on June 29th at 10 am MST.

What’s your setup for suction, pump priming/check valves if you have a mobile setup, and filtration
