Mercer and Hardin County – Ohio State University Extension in Hardin and Mercer Counties will present a Farm
Financial Fitness Night. Boost your financial management skills at our Farm Financial Fitness Night, tailored for
agricultural producers. This event covers essential topics to help you understand and manage your farm’s finances.
Event highlights include budgeting, record keeping, financial reports, cash flow management, and farm income and
profit. This program is designed for farmers and agricultural producers, farm managers and operators, and anyone
interested in improving their farm’s financial health.
The program will take place in Hardin County on January 15 at the Extension Office located at 1021 Lima Street, Suite
