Threshold Learning Together

An hour-long facilitated conversation for farmers.

These are not webinars. These are 15 minute financial micro-lessons and a 45 minute peer-based decision lab.

Space is limited to 15 participants. No recordings. No AI agents.

  • A quick walkthrough of where labor, benefits, family payroll, health insurance, and retirement actually show up on Schedule F — and how those lines affect real decisions, not just taxes.

  • A practical walk-through of New York–specific farm credits, with a strategic take on the farm workforce retention credit.

  • A practical microlesson on emotional biases—and a clear, repeatable framework (the Money Conversation Code) for shared language and a one-page guide families can use to talk about hard money decisions.

  • A decision-making framework for choosing between IRAs, Roths, and small-business retirement plans based on income timing, tax strategy, and administrative reality and a review of the New York Secure Choice Savings Program.

  • Too many approaches take a snapshot view of your budget, but real planning looks ahead. I’ll show you how a simple scenario planning tool with a decision matrix and key calculations can connect future household needs to farm viability.

  • A practical comparison of 529s, UTMA/UGMA accounts, and newer options, focused on flexibility, taxes, and avoiding common mistakes that limit future choices. And a breakdown of the so-called Trump Accounts.

  • A micro-lesson on calculating your DIY expiration date, reframing value beyond price, and a discussion on the next lever to pull (people, systems, partnerships) to create a structurally sound growth model.
