Want to Start An Agribusiness? Start at Square One!

A new series starts May 21st for anyone interested in learning more about starting an agribusiness venture. Have an idea about something that you could grow and sell? We will be discussing business plans, marketing strategies, managing risk, value added product regulation and much more. The classes are designed to be guided informal discussions and exploration of resources available. The classes will be held on Thursdays form 5:30 - 7:00 PM at the West Central Florida Agricultural Education Center at the Sumter County Fairgrounds. To register contact the UF/IFAS Sumter County Extension Office at (352) 793-2728. The classes are free!

In addition, a new course will be introduced in Fall 2009 specifically for women who are working in agribusiness. Annie's Project will be a more in depth and hands-on program with similar topics and there will be a charge for the course, which is yet to be determined.
