Evaluating Ag Research on Individual Operations

Using research findings from four previously funded Western SARE projects, Master Stockman Consulting is teaching ranchers methods and tools for evaluating these projects to see if they are economically sustainable in their individual operations. It can be a challenge for ranchers and farmers to implement ag research. While the concepts of the research might be straightforward, understanding the economic impacts on an individual farm or ranch can be a challenge. Master Stockman Consulting has released four new YouTube videos that help producers walk through this process.
