Abstract

One requirement for many Farm Service Agency (FSA) borrowers is that they attend financial management training. The most difficult obstacle to overcome in the training is the fact that most participants are not happy about being there. Many are there simply because training participation is a requirement in obtaining a loan through the FSA. This paper will share experiences in planning and conducting farm management training fora less than enthusiastic audience. Post workshop evaluations suggest our efforts have been successful. When asked if they would recommend this training to other farmers in closing evaluations, 97% of participants say “Yes”.
