“Annie’s Project is a great program that encourages participants to become more informed about running an agricultural business,” said Leacey Brown, SDSU Extension Gerontology Field Specialist.
Webinar topics will include family communication, making a mission/vision statement, caregiving for rural families, mental health and wellbeing, separating business from personal finance, calculating the cost of feedstuff, agriculture and taxes, marketing basics, estate and transition planning, crop and pasture insurance and livestock risk protection.

“My husband and I put a business plan together to buy more cows and took it to the banker. The banker felt it was very well put together and said to move forward,” one participant wrote.
