Financial Workshop – Using Spreadsheets to Assess Risks and Make On-Farm Decisions: Real Life Examples

The session uses real farm financial examples to guide decision-making and assess risk. Catherine Durkin of Calyx Farm and MFT discusses how her farm makes crop planning decisions using sales and financial data. Jed Beach of 3 Bug Farm and FarmSmart discusses the process he and his wife use to regularly check in on their financials and reevaluate their plans.

Attendance at this workshop makes farmers eligible to work for free with either Jed Beach, Rose Wilson, or Catherine Durkin. As part of that TA they will work to develop and analyze their own spreadsheets to assess risks and opportunities specific to their farm.

February 24, 2026 as 4:00 p.m. on Zoom. To register and for more information, visit MOFGA’s Virtual Financial Workshop webpage.
