Texas Cooperative Extension will present the Introduction to QuickBooks Pro for Ag Producers on Oct. 27 and 28 in Midland County's Extension office, 2445 E. Highway 80.

The program starts at 9 a.m. both days.

Bill Thompson, Extension economist at Fort Stockton, said the curriculum targets computer-literate farmers and ranchers who want to improve their record-keeping skills.

"Most producers use a cash record-keeping system as allowed by the IRS (Internal Revenue Service)," Thompson said. "But these records never accurately reflect an operation's financial stability.

"The objective of this workshop is to use QuickBooks Pro to effectively detail the operation's financial situation."

The first day's topics include: Manual and Reference Overviews, Setting Up a New File, Getting Started and Navigating QuickBooks Pro, Using Lists, Handwritten Transactions, and Using the Bill Payment Feature.

The second day's topics include: Printing Checks, Reconciling Accounts, Reporting, Accounting 101, Advanced Transactions, Payroll, and Introduction to Managerial Accounting.

Stan Bevers and Brenda Duckworth, Extension economists from Vernon, will join Thompson to teach the course.

Enrollment is limited to 12 farm/ranch operations. Registration for up to two members from each operation, plus their accountant is $125. Enrollment ends Oct. 7.

For more information, call Thompson at 432-336-8585 or Sam Field, Extension agent, Midland County, at 432-686-4700.
