AGAware® Workshop
Build Business Skills through AGAware®
Our comprehensive business and financial literacy workshop series, AGAware®, is designed to promote and educate the next generation of Young, Beginning, and Small (YBS) Farmers like you. Learn more about our program benefits and how to sign up for a workshop below.
What to Expect
AGAware® equips YBS Farmers with the skills they need to begin to build a business plan, improve their existing plan, or analyze their cash flows to make their current operation more profitable. Our one-day, seven-hour workshops address a variety of topics pertinent to up-and-coming farmers, including budget preparation, personal finance, risk management, succession planning, and more.
If you have a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Direct Loan, you can earn your USDA FSA Direct Borrower Education Certification through the AGAware® program, which is required for FSA Direct Loan recipients.
AGAware® is free of charge, with lunch provided on-site. Workshops start at 9:00 AM and end at 4:00 PM.
