Ty Wolaver

Extension Specialist I | Agricultural and Resource Economics

Specialization: Record Keeping and Farm Financial Management

Overview

I strive to help farmers understand their financial condition surrounding their farming operation. I want to help farmers understand their per unit production revenue and expense, so they can understand their profitability and how more or less production might affect their profitability. From that, my goal is to help those farmers understand whether investments might improve their profitability and achieve their business goals. I also want to help farmers understand and utilize record-keeping on the farm by on farm training and class demonstrations. I also have an interest in group presentation about record keeping and financial management. I have an interest in supporting others on my team with the areas I'm passionate in the same way they help me with their areas of interest. This better serves the farmers in the state of Tennessee, and that is my ultimate professional interest.
