The beef business has become increasingly complex and risky in recent years, exacerbated by greater volatility in most markets and perpetual variance in climatic conditions. With increasing capital requirements for agriculture and compressing operating margins, these risks are becoming more intense. Producers are now faced with more complex decision sets, the results of which may have long term consequences to production and profits. Acquiring new knowledge to help navigate these challenges has traditionally been done through attending workshops, which is difficult and time consuming. Advances in technology means it’s possible to provide a convenient, professional, and affordable online educational platform for the beef industry. The Ranching Legacy Program is the first 100% online program to meet the needs of busy beef industry professionals.
