Jan. 28, Feb. 14 programs in Lubbock; March 2 program in Plainview

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will be holding three free workshops to better help farmers understand and utilize profitability spreadsheets for their crop budgets. 

• A Profitability Workshop will be held on Jan. 28 and again on Feb. 14 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center, 1102 Drew St., Lubbock. On March 2,  the same workshop will be held in Plainview at the AgriLife Extension office in Hale County at 225 Broadway, Suite 6. 

• The workshops will be from 9 a.m.-noon each day. The events are sponsored by the Texas State Support Committee-Cotton Incorporated and lunch is included. 

“Texas farmers have been using this spreadsheet for 20 years to estimate the relative profitability of different crops using their own production history,” said Will Keeling, AgriLife Extension risk management specialist, Lubbock. 

He said participants are encouraged to bring their own computers, but they aren’t necessary as everything will be demonstrated on screen.

For additional information, contact Dena Graves at 806-723-8412 or Keeling at 806-723-8445.
