Improving your farm business takes rolling up your sleeves and getting to work … not just IN your business, but ON it too. The Land Stewardship Project is hosting Ranch Management Consultant, Dave Pratt, to give workshop participants insights into three tools for improving farm profit. Dave won't just be presenting information. You can expect plenty of small group interaction, case studies, videos, direct application to your own situation and a healthy dose of humor to be used throughout the workshop. 

You will learn: 

● How to transform your farm into a successful business 
● The difference between economics vs finance & why economics always comes first 
● The three things that you can do to increase profit on your farm 
● To identify the weak links and profit-drivers in your business

Dave Pratt

Dave Pratt is one of the most sought-after speakers on regenerative agriculture and profitable ranching in the world today. He has taught the Ranching for Profit School in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Africa. 

Dave grew up on a small ranch and worked for cattle and sheep ranchers in Northern California where he learned ranching from the bottom up. In addition to his practical roots, Dave holds BS and MS degrees from the University of California and Washington State University. A Range and Livestock Advisor with the University of California Cooperative Extension Service for 15 years, Dave researched cell grazing and strategic issues impacting the sustainability of ranches. 

In 1991 Dave began working with Stan Parsons, the founder of Ranch Management Consultants. He started teaching at the Ranching for Profit School in 1992. When Stan retired in 2001, Dave and his wife Kathy bought RMC. In 2019 after many successful years, they sold the company to Dallas Mount. 

"I would urge any farm business owner to attend. Dave Pratt offers advanced ag economics delivered in simple terms and concepts.

After attending a workshop and classes in 2019, I can say it has 100% changed my approach to grazing.”
