Starting a farm in Ontario can be a daunting task. Erich Weber of OMAFRA will present this course, which will walk you through the different stages that you will have to deal with when trying to start your new farm business.
This course is broken into three different webinars:
- March 16, 2023 the course will focus on people who are interested in starting a crop based farm (ie. corn, soybeans, grapes, apples, etc.).
- March 23, 2023 the course will focus on people who are interested in starting a livestock based farm (ie. beef, turkey, sheep, goat, etc.).
- March 30, 2023 the course will focus on people who are interested in starting a farm business that will sell their products direct to the consumer.
The three webinars will start at 7 pm on each day and will go for approximately 2 hours and will cover such topics as:
- Business planning
- Financing options
- Tax considerations
- Commodity/farm organizations and how they can help you.
On April 15, 2023 you are invited to attend a free in person trade show where you can meet with different professionals across the agriculture industry who can help you make your future farm business succeed.
