The Nebraska Women in Agriculture program is proud to announce the launch of a new online course, LLCs for Nebraska Farms and Ranches, available from July 1, 2025 to August 31, 2025. This self-paced course will be housed within the program’s online learning community, Agri-Essentials, and is designed specifically for agricultural producers interested in forming or better managing a Limited Liability Company (LLC).
Whether you're exploring LLCs as a new business structure for your farm or ranch or looking to better manage your existing LLC, this course offers practical guidance tailored to the unique needs of Nebraska producers.
Course participants will learn how to:
- Decide whether an LLC is the right entity structure for their operation
- Navigate the steps and costs of forming an LLC in Nebraska
- Identify and avoid frequent legal and tax missteps through better business management
The course includes short video interviews with attorneys, accountants, and ag professionals, as well as checklists, worksheets, and links to podcasts and articles that address specialized topics.
Enrollment in Agri-Essentials is $175 per person and provides access to LLCs for Nebraska Farms and Ranches along with all other content and courses released in the community through February 28, 2026.
“Agri-Essentials was created to meet producers where they are,” said Jessica Groskopf, Director of the Nebraska Women in Agriculture program. “By offering this LLC course online, we’re making critical business knowledge available across Nebraska.”
Agri-Essentials is supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2024-70027-42470. All attendees are welcome to participate regardless of race, gender, or any other protected status.
