Livingston County

    Livingston County Extension houses a staff person who handles agriculture questions from around the area.  Kevin Hansen, Agriculture Business Specialist, serves the area of Livingston, Caldwell and Daviess Counties.  His main duties include record keeping, risk management, estate planning, farm financial analysis, and farm leases/cash rentals.  However, related agricultural questions on other topics still fall in his field as well.

Finpack
   This computerized program allows you to see "Where you are", "Where you are going", and "How you will get there".   Those three stages of financial planning are available to the producer by asking for the assistance of your farm management specialist.  By filing out some paperwork that you would normally give the banker, you then can have reports at your finger tips.   Information gathered can then assist you in making better decisions about your farming operation.
