FARM FINANCIAL ANALYSIS It seems everyone today is talking about financial management, and rightly so, if you are to see if you have made any progress over the year. Simple, financial management advice, such as "how-to" keep a good set of records, requires your decision-making and your action to be of any use, To evaluate your results requires benchmarks to compare to. How can this be done? First, by breaking down your financial income and expenses into categories that tell you something and then, by using a standard, such as one cow, one sow, one acre, etc., to allow you to compare cost of production with other operations that arc not the same as yours. You will ask yourself, "Did I make enough to allow me to cover my debt, overhead, etc., and still show a profit?" We have available a computer computer program which help you answer question, This program break down your L operations so that you can do a better job of analyzing your farm by comparing the results will your will farm with an analysis of the county/ provincial average. After comparing your farm with the average, we should be able to help you identify possible areas and discuss these with you. Hopefully, enough farmers will co-operate to enable us to compile a summary of each commodity and a copy of this summary could be sent to you at your request. It's nice to know that you are doing as well as, or better than your neighbor I The time it takes is more than paid for when one can identify weaknesses in his operation and can take steps to improve it, Profit is not merely how much you make but how much you keep.
