Sustainability Trainings

Ranching For Profit Workshops

with Dave Pratt of Ranch Management Consultants, Inc.

“Putting Profit back into ranching, one business at a time.”

It is tougher than ever to make a living from the land. Which is why Western Sustainability Exchange focuses on the power of markets and education to improve the economic and financial viability of sustainable land managers.  For the past two years WSE has organized a series of workshops specifically centered on improving the triple bottom line for agriculture operations:  people, planet, and profit.

Dave Pratt, who has taught the Ranching For Profit School for nearly 20 years, lead 7 workshops over the past 2 years, organized by WSE.

Pratt covered such topics as the three ways to increase profit, a method of benchmarking to identify profit drivers and “Dead Wood,” how to increase the availability of working capital, and how to increase profit by structuring one’s operation to be in sync with natural cycles.
