Farming financial action plans and academic collaboration in beef research

Control your money so it does not control you. Vanessa Stockbrugger is a former investment banker on Toronto’s Bay Street who went on to found and run Womencents. She says having more money does not necessarily fix things – instead, people need a strategy or action plan to achieve their financial goals. But what happens when that business is a farm? To reduce stress, she says people must have power and control over their finances. She'll discuss strategies for dealing with some of the big decisions including when to save, when to spend and when to pay down debt. It's a collaboration that brings together the complete beef research cycle. The University of Saskatchewan's Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence, located southeast of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan opened in 2018 and includes a two thousand head cattle feeding operation, cattle research facility, buildings for drying forages a 350 head cow-calf research facility and forage research plots. U of S College of Engineering professor and research Dr. Terry Fonstad will tell us about the collaboration between areas of the university that truly gives the full picture of what happens from the pasture to plate.   He tells us what makes this research facility unique from any other.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
