This week on The Back 40 we are joined by John Cranfield, the Associate Dean of External Relations with the Ontario Agriculture College at the University of Guelph, specializing in agriculture economics. John and Mike discuss the series of short courses that teach agriculture business management skills that is offered free to those interested in learning the various skills necessary for farm management. We explore the breakdown of these courses to highlight why they are important for farm business management and how to take these lessons from practice to application on the farm.
