Darren Bond is a Farm Management Specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, specializing in crop production costs, risk management, and farmland rental, while also being responsible for the annual Guidelines for Estimating Crop Production Costs. He believes every agronomic production decision made on the farm must also consider the economic costs and benefits in order to make the best decision possible. True to this, Darren and the Farm Management Team has created many of the decision making tools and resources found at Manitoba Agriculture.

Join Darren as he explores equipment costs and how it impacts farm profitability, while focussing on investment analysis, benchmarking, and different ways to analyze the true cost and benefits of farm equipment.
