Farmers and ranchers! It’s time to sharpen your pencil and write that business plan to market your harvest!
Washington State University San Juan County Extension and Northwest Agriculture Business Center (NABC) will host two free day long workshops covering key components of market and business feasibility analyses, as well as how to develop an award winning business plan and gain access to capital.
