Making decisions for your farm or ranch can be stressful. However, having good financial records can help make the decision-making process easier.

To help farmers and ranchers improve their record-keeping and decision-making, Nebraska Extension will be hosting “Know Your Numbers, Know Your Options” courses across the state.

Each “Know Your Numbers, Know Your Options” course is a series of four, three-hour sessions that will teach farmers and ranchers how to analyze their financial documents. The course fee is $20 per participant. Class size is limited to 20 people per location. Register online at wia.unl.edu/know.

The dates and locations are as follows:

• Chadron. 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Jan. 14, 15, 21 and 22 at the Dawes County Extension Office, 250 Main St., No. 8.

• Fullerton. 1 to 4 p.m. Jan. 28 and 30, Feb. 4 and 6 at the Nance County Extension Office, 304 3rd St.

This course is designed to help farmers and ranchers understand their financial position and how big decisions such as large purchases, new leases or changes in production will affect their bottom line.

Upon completion of this program, participants will have a better understanding of how financial records can be used to make decisions and confidently discuss their financial position with their family, business partners and lenders.

This course is hosted by Nebraska Extension. Annie's Project is supported by Farm Credit Services of America in Nebraska.
