Farming and accounting are both full-time professions that require quite a bit of work. Keeping track of expenses and income while going through tax preparation all on your own might sound like a daunting task, which is understandable. Having a handle on financial management could mean outsourcing the job, even part-time, to someone who could help set up and maintain an accounting system. Most farmers would find this beneficial, especially for those who are moving beyond small family-owned farms.
