Values-Based Decision Making using Holistic Financial Planning

Your life is more than numbers on a spreadsheet. Yet the spreadsheets are important to help manage your life. Holistic Financial Planning creates spreadsheets with meaning that help people think differently and more positively about the work involved in financially managing the farm business. February 21 & 23.

This annual planning process is an intentional, strategic, caring, and effective approach to financial decision making and management. It helps farmers navigate the intensity and density of farming and farm life, and the delicate balance between healthy profits, stewardship of the land, and quality of life for the farm, people and/or family involved.
