The vision needs to be larger than the farm. Visioning is one important way to see how the farm operation fits into the rest of life. These can be the members of a farm family or hired managers on a larger commercial operation. All team members should have a vision of what they want or need. The vision for the family farm or farm business should help the individual achieve the visions they have for themselves.
Team work occurs best when the team members share in developing a group vision.
Your personal values play a big part in determining your vision. Your vision will change with your experience, accomplishments, and stage in life. A vision statement sets down the long-term vision or purpose of an individual or organization. In the family farm context, a vision needs to include more than the farm operation since the farm is only part of the family activities. We work to have that farm be a well-kept attractive homestead.
