DONOR SPOTLIGHTNEW PROGRAM

Whole Farm/Ranch Business Planning

Your generocity allowed us to launch a new program designed to teach farmers and ranchers much needed Holistic Financial, Business & Marketing skills. Here’s what participants have to say...“The one-on-one help was great!”

“I learned key pricing guidelines and the relationship to

competition.”

“I better understand customers and competition.”

“I learned how to reach a breakeven point.”

Thanks to funding from the Thornburg Foundation and individual donors, HMI brought together reps from federal and state agencies, local NGOs and ranchers to discuss innovative ranching strategies at our New Mexico Policy Maker Day.

“I have nothing but praises for HMI’s Grazing Planning class that I just completed this past spring. We were given the tools to improve our skills (and to help other ranchers and farmers) to more effectively manage grazing resources and increase the ability to make more informed decisions utilizing HMI’s whole farm/ranchgoal-setting and ecosystem processes. With these tools and through observation and better understanding of these type of grazing practices, I am better equipped to advise my clients and students (as an agriculture educator) as to how to improve their grazing management skills and enable them to increase their productivity. I feel more knowledgeable about how to work with nature and to maintain environmental sustainability, while being able to focus also on how to effectively make decisions to maximize positive financial gains.”
