Young farmers urged to master costs and markets at Menomonie forum
Agriculture economist Dr. Bob Cropp told FFA members from several west central Wisconsin high schools that success hinges on management and marketing as well as production. He warned not all who want to farm can, emphasizing knowledge of costs, futures, and price setting. Additional speakers warned of debt, recordkeeping, and balance between crops and livestock, while officials urged ongoing education and adaptation to regulations for a future in farming.
