Keeping farm and ranch records up to date is important but can be a complicated task.

Nebraska Extension is offering a “Collect. Balance. Reconcile. File.” workshop in Omaha from 6 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 3, at the Douglas-Sarpy Counties Extension Office, 8015 W. Center Road.

This workshop will focus on four steps to prepare books for accountants or make it easier for business managers to do them on their own. Nebraska Extension Educator Jessica Groskopf will discuss collecting the necessary documents, balancing check registers or financial software, reconciling accounts and filing paperwork for agricultural operations.

This workshop is free to attend, but registration is required by calling the office of Nebraska Extension in Douglas and Sarpy Counties at 402-444-7804.
