Whole Farm Planning

Strategies that share a conservation, family-oriented approach to farm management, although specific components may vary from farm to farm, and from community to community. Whole farm planning provides farmers with the management tools they need to manage biologically complex farming systems in a profitable manner. As a management system, it draws on cutting-edge management theory used by other businesses, industries and even cities. It encourages farmers to set explicit goals for their operation; carefully examine and assess all the resources -- cultural, financial, and natural -- available for meeting their goals; develop short- and long-term plans to meet their goals; make decisions on a daily basis that support their goals; and monitor their progress toward meeting goals.
