Farm Business Management

From Field to Finance — Master the Business of Farming

In the quiet moments, tiny green shoots emerge from the earth, a timeless promise passed down through generations and nourished by the sun. As the harvest ripens, that promise becomes a reality. The pressures of yield and market fluctuations may be heavy, but the sunrise over expansive fields, the miracle of life sprouting from a single seed—that’s the true reward.

At CLC’s Farm Business Management program, we focus on the financial heartbeat of successful farming. You’ll gain a strong foundation in financial management, risk assessment, and the evolving challenges shaping the agricultural industry. Our goal is to help you build and implement a strategic business plan—empowering you to run your farm with confidence.

This highly individualized program is delivered where it matters most: on your farm or through confidential, web-based sessions—not in a traditional classroom. Instructors meet with you regularly at your place of business, getting to know the strengths and challenges of your operation firsthand.

A core part of the program is developing a reliable and accurate set of farm records—laying the groundwork for smart, data-driven decisions that drive long-term success.
