Conservation agencies sponsor ‘Ranching for Profit’ workshop B o a rd m a n , O R — Ranchers will find ways to increase the profitability and the health and produc tivity of their ranches at a Ranching for Profit work- . shop 9:30-4:30 Thursday, June 27, in Boardman. Dave Pratt of Ranch Management Consultants, Inc. will con- . duct the workshop. The morning session will focus on ranch profit ability. Pratt will discuss why w orking “ in” your businesses won’t improve profit unless you w ork “on” your businesses first. He will explain the three “ secrets” for increasing profit and offer profitability benchmarks you can use to identify “deadw ood” and pinpoint “profit driv ers” for your ranch. The afternoon session will focus on grazing methods that increase pasture health and productivity while lowering costs. According to Pratt, in put costs have increased five times faster than cattle prices. Land values have risen even faster. Pratt says, “A ranch using practices that were profitable in the 70s and 80s loses money in today’s environment.” “ M any fa rm s and ranches are structured to fail and survive only through internal subsidies like inherited wealth, ap preciating land values and off-farm income,” he adds. In contrast, Pratt claims that many Ranching for Profit alumni earn a healthy profit. Pratt says he doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all recipe for success, but can offer insights and practi cal tools developed and refined by the experiences of thousands of profitable Ranching for Profit alumni from all over the world. The workshop will be at the Port of Morrow con ference center, 2 Marine Drive, Boardman. Advance registration is $25 and in cludes lunch. Registration after June 21 or at the door is $30. RSVP to 541-676- 5021 xl l O or john.fast@ or.usda.gov. Registration forms are also available at www.morrowswcd.org. The event is sponsored by NRCS, Morrow Soil & Water Conservation Dis trict, Morrow County Live stock Growers and OSU Extension. } --------------------jHeppner Les Schwab wishes to congratulate the LES SCtfMMB/Heppner FFA Chapter Banquet award recipients n V I E-» Micha Hintz - recipient of the Star Junior Award Garrett Robinson- (L ) recipient of the DeKalb Award (outstanding senior) and Zech Hintz (R) John Gould, (left) Heppner Les Schwab manager and Tim Gould, (right) recipient of The Green Hand of the Year Award Kenzi Hughes - Recipient of the Star Sophomore Award Rylee Kollman recipient of The Star Chapter Farmer Award
