Bringing Best Business Practices To Farming

Ontario producers are encouraged to “take a new approach” to farm business management as a result of the governments’ investment in the Agricultural Management Institute (AMI).

AMI works with agricultural industry associations to develop resources on innovative business management practices to help Ontario producers remain competitive. 

AMI is being funded through Growing Forward to encourage the development and adoption of business management strategies for farm businesses. Their “Take A New Approach” campaign encourages producers to adopt new ways of thinking about farm business planning.
