We hare pleased to announce Richard Wiswall will be the farmer facilitator for the 4th annual Practical Farmers of Iowa Next Generation Retreat.

From Noon on December 8th to Noon on December 9th, this overnight retreat will focus on how to create business plans that demonstrate budgets for profit.

“I get really excited about farm budgeting, because that is how you determine if you are making a living farming,” says Wiswall. “I love working with beginners to demystify business planning.”
