Are you interested in learning more about cash markets, managing price risk or selecting a broker? Maybe you just want some more information about market planning. If so, join Baca County Extension for a series of Lunch and Learn Webinars. Beginning Jan. 8, 2019, topics covering the basics of agriculture marketing will be covered every Tuesday in January. Sessions will be from noon to 2 p.m. at the Minnick Building on the Baca County Fairgrounds in Springfield, Colorado.
The course will be instructed by Brent Young, CSU Agriculture and Business Management Economist. Tiana Garcia, a Southeast Area Extension agent will be facilitating the course. The Basic Ag Marketing Webinar is meant to be an introductory course covering the mechanics of cash, futures, and options markets. This webinar is designed to meet the needs of agriculture producers who are new to commodity marketing and are looking for techniques to improve the prices they receive for their crops and livestock. The webinar format is interactive and will allow for live questions. Each webinar session will be recorded for review if you miss a session or for additional viewing to clarify concepts.
Registration is due no later than Dec. 28 to the Baca County Extension Office. Bring your own lunch on Jan. 8 and 22. Lunch will be provided on Jan. 15 and 29.
