2. A grazing or Farming for Profit course has the highest return on any education $ you will ever spend. RCS provides across the board education tools and backup that, without doubt helps agricultural businesses to become more profitable, sustainable and better prepared to bounce back after droughts, downturns and floods. Brian
3. Best well-rounded course. Honestly the best well-rounded course I have ever taken. I loved how immersive it was to make us really zone in on our businesses. It made me look at our numbers with different eyes and consider all aspects of our grazing business, not just tax and cashflow. It gave me more tools and understanding than I ever thought was possible. This gives us confidence with our decision making and future. Janeta
