Winter Financial Series with Ellen Polishuk: Infrastructure Investments - Jan 2027

📅 5 January 2027
When there are endless toys and tools to buy, how does a farmer decide what “deserves” to be next in line in their capital improvement budget? We will look at different kinds of investments: equipment, in-place assets (HTs, fencing, buildings, roads, wells), and marketing assets (website, branding work, etc). Spend some time learning to effectively use a partial budget analysis tool to discover the Return On Investment on any single capital purchase. Join this workshop and then sign up for free follow-up technical assistance with Ellen Polishuk or Jed Beach to do the one-on-one work to really dive into your future investments.
Please pre-register here for any or all sessions of this series. Each session will unlock the possibility of 1-on-1 TA with Ellen Polishuk or Jed Beach. Preference goes to Maine farmers.
