We arent going to teach you how to sail or build a boat, but Kansas State Universitys Agricultural Economics Department will begin its annual MAST program in early November and the time to sign up is right now.
Just what is MAST? MAST stands for Management, Analysis and Strategic Thinking. It is a distance education course for farmers and ranchers. The MAST Program combines new information and decision-making tools with distance education for geographically isolated producers and managers, ag lenders, and agribusiness professionals.
MAST begins with a two-day workshop on the K-State campus where program participants are introduced to key management tools and concepts to be emphasized in the program. For the next three months, participants learn through distance education methods, and progress through several learning modules focusing on various farm management tools and their application. After completing the distance education portion of the program, participants return for a final two-day program that will emphasize applying tools and concepts to their individual farm situations.
