The primary emphasis of Farm Business Management is to assist farm families in meeting their business and personal goals through quality farm records and sound business decisions. Farm Business Management is designed to work closely with active, functional farmers and persons interested in farming as a business. This program is primarily taught at the student's place of business, rather than in a traditional classroom.
Individualized instruction is used to the fullest.
The instructor visits the farm on a regular basis and understands the strengths and weaknesses of each student's business. This program is primarily taught at the student's place of business, but classroom and groups instruction are also very important. Students are enrolled in the program on a continuous, part-time basis. Developing a set of sound farm records is the basis for the program. Primarily, computerized accounting is used to handle the complex records which must be kept in an efficient farm business.
