Meet our Conference Keynote Speaker

Tuesday October 11, 2016 at the Jackson County Agricultural Complex Marianna, FL   Meet our Keynote Speaker Farmer and Author Richard Wiswall     Richard Wiswall has been a farmer for 35 years. He runs Cate Farm, a certified organic farm in Vermont  and is author of "The Organic Farmer's Business Handbook."  Read the interview we did with him recently. In his words, his work on farm profitability "is about shining a light on their farm business, about understanding where the money is coming and going." "Ultimately a farmer's only job is to make sure that the farm survives; if you can't make payroll then it's over." Richard said.  Keep Reading here!     In addition to the keynote speech, Richard will lead a Practical Workshop called "Farm budgets Made Simple"       Early Bird Fee is $40 before September 5 See all the conference activities and register online: www.pfvc.eventbrite.com     For more information please email Jose Perez or call 352-294-1692 or visit our website.  For updates on these conferences please sign in to receive email updates, or follow us on Facebook.
