Agribusiness

The Extension Agribusiness Team provides information and education on the use of business and economic principles for making decisions involving agriculture, natural resources and communities.

Team members consisting of Extension agents, associates and specialists provide targeted educational programming and technical assistance related to agribusiness and promote the development of economically viable local and regional food systems.

Programs and decision-making tools including enterprise budgets, farm financial analysis, market outlooks, farmers market and agritourism development, entrepreneurship, business planning and risk management education are provided for commercial growers, beginning and small farmers, agribusinesses, lenders, and ag professionals for improving profitability and sustainability.
