Do you desire to increase your business knowledge and fundamentals of running and maintaining a successful agricultural business?  

Have you started to create a business plan and would like a team of professionals to help you finalize it? Or have you been interested in taking that first step in developing a business plan for your agribusiness?

If so, First Nations Development Institute (First Nations) has a 2-1/2-day, producer-focused The Business of Indian Agriculture training and a Business Planning Development training just for you. These will be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, July 9-11, 2019, at the Sheraton Oklahoma City Downtown Hotel. Participants will receive copies of First Nations’ The Business of Indian Agriculture curriculum and Business Planning Development workbook.
