About Jim Kocherer
As your Farm Business Management Instructor, I bring a long history of working with the Agricultural industry which includes being an FFA High School instructor for over 20 years. I now look forward to assisting college students with setting up their business and reaching their short term and long term goals.
I work with a very diverse student base which includes beginning farmers, those in mid-career going through a transition within a family business, as well as experienced seniors who have been farming for years. I bring a background of Urban, suburban market channel, and traditional crop/livestock experience to our student instructor experience.
