HOARD'S DAIRYMAN RELEASES NEWEST RESOURCE ON FARM FINANCE
Oct. 24, 2018
Source: Hoard's Dairyman news release
Financial awareness is as critical a "leg" to the dairy industry as cow comfort, feed and nutrition, and healthy working relationships. Gary Sipiorski has set out over the last 25 years in his Money Matters column in Hoard's Dairyman to provide bite-sized lessons and guidance with just that mission in mind. Now, you can find all of his advice combined into a single book titled Dairy Money Matters that is available through the Hoard's Dairyman online bookstore, www.hoards.com/bookstore.
Corey Geiger, managing editor at Hoard's Dairyman, relayed his praise, "By combining his impressive storytelling ability with his incredible financial know-how, Gary Sipiorski brings farm finance to life in a fashion that everyone can easily understand. Above all, Gary appreciates hardworking dairy folks, and he poured his heart and soul into this book to help improve the livelihoods for the dedicated dairy farm families who have read his Money Matters column on the pages of Hoard's Dairyman since 1994."
Throughout his career, from his work in the feed industry at Ralston Purina (Purina Mills) to working his way from agricultural loan officer to president and CEO of Citizens State Bank of Loyal, Sipiorski has been actively involved in Wisconsin's rural economic development. Gary now works directly with dairy farmers through his dairy development manager role at Vita Plus, as well as developing financial training tools for the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin (PDPW).
"I was delighted to see the enthusiastic interest in my book Dairy Money Matters," said Sipiorski. "At times, I thought it would have been best to see the book released in 2014 when milk prices where high, then readers would have given additional thought in dealing with the incomes that year. However, with the general farm economy as it is today, financial awareness is at a high level. Readers will find reviewing the chapters, which deal with different economic times and issues, helpful in sorting business dairy farm decisions. I wish everyone - dairy farmers, educators, lenders, and any business that serves the industry - the very best as they find value in the book's pages."
The Hoard's Dairyman bookstore traces its roots back to the early 1900s in providing helpful and meaningful resources for any and all involved in the dairy industry - farm managers and employees, veterinarians, students, and industry professionals alike. Topics of coverage range from academic resources to gift purchases and youth guides. Learn more about the bookstore and its offerings at www.hoards.com/bookstore.
