This CCE Chautauqua L.E.A.F. (Learn. Empower. Achieve. Farm.) workshop will facilitate the development of a successful business plan. Business plans for farms are often viewed as yet another chore to do and usually result in dusty binders taking up space on the office shelf. Let’s chat with Katelyn Walley-Stoll, Farm Business Management Specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s SWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program, on developing business plans that can do more and will benefit your farm business. This discussion based workshop will walk you through the mental exercise of planning your future agricultural adventures. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the use of a business plan, the essential components, and a “to-do” list of things to think about to inform future planning efforts. Additional opportunities for one-on-one follow up will also be offered. FSA Borrower credits may be made available for your attendance.

The L.E.A.F. Program is one of many programs offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County (CCE-Chautauqua). CCE-Chautauqua is a subordinate governmental agency with an educational mission that operates under a form of organization and administration approved by Cornell University as agent for the State of New York. It is tax-exempt under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The association is part of the national cooperative extension system, an educational partnership between County, State, and Federal governments. As New York’s land grant university Cornell administers the system in this state.

All associations work to meet the needs of the counties in which they are located as well as state and national goals.
