An excellent resource for students and farmers, both as a way of life and as a business enterprise. Successful farming today not only requires knowledge of livestock and production, but also marketing, staff management and financial matters. Farm Management gives sound, practical advice on many important aspects of farming.
The topics covered include selecting a farm site, managing livestock, planning and developing profitable pastures and crops, marketing and the use of computer applications. There are also sections advising farmers on their buildings, finacial management and use of equipment and materials, as well as providing information about diversification.
With information about vital considerations such as water and waste management, backed up with simple tables and diagrams, this guide to farm planning is effective and comprehensive. He realistically details and examines the various attitudes and ideas in the agricultural industry, providing prospective and current farmers with a valuable record of old mistakes made and new adventures afoot, all in a clear, concise manner that complements the format and scope of his book.
The easy-to-read, no nonsense approach of this book is useful for planning day-to-day dfarming activities, as well as outlining ideas for the future of your farm.
