With Glennis McClure, Extension Educator and Farm and Ranch Management Analyst, UNL; and Jeff Steffen, Producer and Ag Budget Calculator Program User

Glennis McClure, an extension farm and ranch management analyst, will discuss strategies with a producer and Agricultural Budget Calculator program user to offer insight on how to use the program to better achieve profitability.

Jeff Steffen is a Crofton, Nebraska, area producer operating an integrated crop and livestock farm. During the webinar, Jeff will provide an overview of their operation that focuses on stacked extended crop rotations and integrating cow herd grazing on mixed cover crops. Jeff has used the Agricultural Budget Calculator (ABC) program to analyze cropping scenarios over the last few years. He enters their actual figures into the projected budgets to track what profitability resulted. Overall, he’s been able to estimate enterprise and whole farm profitability with fewer inputs and increased revenue.

Jeff is a member of the Nebraska Natural Resource Commission Board, and the Lewis & Clark Natural Resource District Board, and serves as a technical advisor for the Bow Creek Watershed Project.
