Dear Ohio Aquaculture Producers,

Input gathered during the listening session will be used to shape a curriculum that meets current needs to address challenges in farm financial planning and management. See below for details and link to register for the session.

Listening Session: Tailoring Aquaculture Business Management Training to Meet Farmers Needs

December 18, 2024, from 3-4PM EST

An NCRAC-funded project team, led by Kwamena Quagrainie<https://www.purdue.edu/fnr/extension/contact-us/directory/kwamena-k-quagrainie/> of Purdue University, will be conducting farm business management training in 2025. One of the trainings will be in Ohio. The training will include hands-on training in business/financial planning tools and aims to provide fish farmers with knowledge and tools that will enable them to make informed and sound aquaculture farm business decisions.

The training team is seeking input and will host a listening session for Ohio aquaculture producers on December 18. During the listening session aquaculture economist Ganesh Kumar<https://www.dafvm.msstate.edu/directory/ganesh-kumar> of Mississippi State University and aquaculture business expert Matt Parker<https://agnr.umd.edu/about/directory/matthew-parker/> of University of Maryland Extension will be interacting with participants to learn what your biggest business/financial challenge is and what you would like to learn about during the training. The purpose of the listening session is for aquaculture farmers and business owners to be able to talk with the project team before the curriculum is put together so the training will be interesting and useful. We hope that individuals interested in participating in the 2025 training will attend the listening session.

The contact person for Ohio is Nicole Wright. If you have questions, send me an email at wright.1128 at osu.edu<mailto:wright.1128 at osu.edu> or phone 330-202-3594.
