Advocacy & Literacy – Rabo AgriFinance

Wisconsin State FFA President Joe Schleiss interviews Chris Olson of Rabo AgriFinance about five tips for building a successful Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE). Olson covers defining business and financial goals, calculating true production costs including labor and equipment, building annual and monthly cash flows, developing a marketing plan based on break-even points, and staying organized when approaching lenders or partners. The discussion emphasizes being realistic and honest about costs regardless of project size, using a corn production example to illustrate break-even and profit calculations.
