About the Webinar
Veggie Compass is a comprehensive financial spreadsheet designed to facilitate the analysis of farm records. Using farmer provided cost, sales and labor data, the spreadsheet calculates the cost of production for each crop and the profitability of each market channel (e.g., CSA, farmer’s market, wholesale, retail).
