NDSU Students Still Need Farmers, Ranchers for Class

North Dakota State University students need more farmers and ranchers.

The students in an advanced farm management course will help about 14 North Dakota and Minnesota farmers and ranchers develop integrated farm business plans.

Farmers and ranchers have until Jan. 21 to sign up for the assistance.

Cooperating farmers will come away from this with an extensive analysis of their farming operation that will allow them to see where they stand relative to peer groups and the industry,” says Eric DeVuyst, an associate professor in the Agribusiness and Applied Economics Department. He also is the course’s instructor.

Farmers and ranchers who want to work with the students should be within 150 miles of Fargo. They also should have basic records for their operation, including balance sheets and income statements. The students will keep those records confidential.

To take part in the project, contact DeVuyst at (701) 231-7466 or edevuyst@ndsuext.nodak.edu.
