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.
