Farm Financial Fluency Training Program

In recognition of the need for greater financial literacy amongst Canada’s producers, Farm Management Canada and MNP have joined forces to offer a Farm Financial Fluency training program for producers. Producers of all types and across all commodities will benefit from a deeper understanding of their financial situation and the different options available to remain competitive and take calculated risks for continued success.

Financial literacy is a fundamental starting point for effective farm business management, helping producers understand the direct impact of their business decisions, and opportunities available going forward.

FTADay was created to encourage and celebrate the progress Canada’s farmers are making to secure the future of farming in Canada.

And, the one day of the year when we can come together to help farmers through their farm transition journey.
