F.A.Q.
  • I’m new to agriculture. Will I be able to keep up with the discussions?
    GenerationNext is more about the dollars and cents aspects of ag businesses than about plants or cows. You can expect intermediate or college-level instruction, but no prior knowledge of financial terms is necessary.
  • I’m on a budget. Is the program worth the investment of my time and money.
    Good management separates top performing farms from those that fall behind. This course will give you the tools to manage your business profitably. Past participants speak highly of the program, but investing is a decision that only you can make.
  • I’m an experienced manager. Will I benefit?
    Experienced managers can also benefit from a refresher course, even if you have a college degree or years of management experience. You will pick up valuable insights from our farm business consultants as well as from your GenerationNext colleagues in the class.
  • When and how long are the seminars?
    Seminars take place over a period of three months, one per month, and are generally held in the fall or early winter. They run from 9:30 a.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m.; lunch and refreshments are included. Check with your local Farm Credit East branch office for specific dates in your area.
  • Do I need a special computer or software?
    In addition to seminars, we supply the GenerationNext computer course on a flash drive. The course runs on a PC or Mac computer and works with most web browsers. No special software, Internet access or specialized computer skills are necessary. It is helpful to be familiar with Microsoft Excel, but not necessary.
