SUMMARY:Profitable Meat Marketing: You are raising and selling local meat\, but are you making a profit?
DESCRIPTION:Learn marketing techniques and how to use the NEW Cornell Meat Pricing Tool to develop prices that deliver a profit in every channel. \nPA Farm Link\, in collaboration with Northeastern Risk Management Education\, Cornell University\, and United States Department of Agriculture\, will be hosting a 1-hour educational webinar on Cornell’s newest meat marketing program: The Meatsuite Calculator. \nThe Cornell Meat Price Calculator is an easy-to-use online tool that allows you to develop pricing for carcasses or cuts. Users enter production\, processing\, and marketing costs along with the desired profit\, working through a “1 typical animal” example from their farm. A separate pricing scheme is recommended for each marketing channel\, such as “farmers market” or “restaurant” because each comes with different marketing costs. In the final step for pricing cuts\, individual prices can be altered until the target total value (the sum of all costs and profit goals) is reached. When setting prices\, users should consider the relative speed at which cuts sell in the respective channel and use prices to moderate sales to more closely match yields. \nAll Pennsylvania farmers will have free access to this program for 3-years.

SUMMARY:Farm Succession Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Professionals in the agricultural industry will be providing valuable information to farm business owners who want to ensure the farm is transitioned to the next generation. This event will be hosted both in-person and online. \nThe workshop is presented by PA Farm Link. PA Farm Link\, a non-profit dedicated to “Linking Farmers to the Future”\, will provide information on various aspects of creating a Farm Business Succession/Transition plan. Often farm families discuss passing the farm business to the next generation\, but get “stuck” on how to proceed. These workshops will help work through some of the myths and stumbling blocks of moving forward with a farm succession and transition plan. \nSpeakers will answer participant’s questions\, plan next steps and breakout sessions will be held. A farmer panel will also take place during the farm succession workshop to discuss farm succession with families who have previously gone through the process.
