To survive as a small scale producer and direct marketer it is increasingly important to have a framework for recording personal, production, and financial information to help manage and evaluate aspects of the farm business. Farmers looking for ways to improve farm management skills have an array of “tools” available to them: manuals or guides, educational programs or curricula, internet resources, and computer programs. The goal of this publication is to introduce you to the type of information different tools provide.
Selecting the appropriate tools will depend on the operator’s skills and goals for the farming operation. Resources or program choices will be based on the needs of each farmer and must be assessed individually. This publication (PDF 550KB) is an overview of the tools available to farmers and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
