Annie’s Project encompasses a curriculum targeting subjects relevant to farm business risk management, promotes group dynamics, enhances interpersonal skills, and introduces the best available technologies in farm business management. Each class session focuses on introducing specific information and management training in financial, production, marketing/price, legal and human resources risk management.
