2009 will be very challenging for the dairy industry. Focused management of production, financial and human resources has never been more critical. Studying management and how it applies to the dairy business is an investment in both the present and the future. New and experienced managers are invited to participate in this workshop where we will:
-Explore risks and management strategies associated with production, financial, and human resources.
-Develop a greater understanding of financial records, analysis, and bench-marking.
-Explore options for managing costs.
-Calculate your cost of production.
The workshop is limited to 25 participants to allow for lively discussion of how management theory is practically applied to both day-to-day and long range dairy farm management. Interested participants will also have an opportunity to complete an intensive analysis of their dairy business following the workshop. The registration form will be posted at http://dairy.osu.edu/.
