coaching programs

We provide two distinct coaching programs for farmers, ranchers and agribusiness owners.

The AgBiz Intensive is a 12 Week comprehensive business program created to address every aspect of owning and running an agriculture business. By the end, you’ll feel like a true CEO and be ready for anything that might come your way.

AgBiz Academy, on the other hand, is a program with a yearlong commitment. The pace is slower and the content is more personalized. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with industry peers, learn from experts and receive strategic business advice from Michelle.
