Extractions: 6. REFERENCES This appendix gives the authors' perspective on farm management in the context of management per se and of farm systems. It outlines, first, the concept of management; second, the distinctive features of agriculture that make farm management different from management in other fields, particularly industrial management; third and fourth, the major characteristics of farm management theory and of its practice; and, fifth, how government may help to make the management of small resource-poor farms more effective. The presentation is conceptual rather than empirical and its orientation is to small farms that are inevitably becoming less subsistence and more commercially oriented as development occurs. 1.1 History of Management Thought

Hereby the management of agricultural and horticultural holdings is analysed. Application and valuation and accounting of different resources, the analysis of the profit and cost structure, the planning and financing are important elements. Further, the relation between farm and family, between farm and policy and between farm and his external conditions (society, natural environment) are taking into account. In the practicals, management tools such as rentability and cost calculation, investment analysis, budgeting, financial planning are introduced and learned trough applications and case studies.

http://agebb.missouri.edu/mgt/cropshar.htm

Extractions: Joe Parcell, David Reinbott, and Ray Massey The trend in production agriculture is toward larger farms. Producers accomplish this objective by purchasing or renting land. Renting land may be preferred to purchasing because of a lack of capital to purchase land to preserve capital for other uses, because there is no land for sale in the area, or some may perceive land to be more profitable then owning land. The three types of leasing agreements common in Missouri are cash, flexible cash, and cropshare. For more information about different types of rental arrangements used in Missouri see MU Guide G 406, Customary Farm Rental Arrangements . This guide focuses on one specific rental agreement, cropshare leasing. This guide uses producer survey information to determine how inputs are split for cropshare agreements specifying production is shared 50-50 or 2/3-1/3. A 2/3-1/3 cropshare arrangement refers to an agreement where the tenant receives 2/3 of the crop and the landowner receives 1/3 of the crop. A cropshare leasing agreement refers to an agreement between a landowner and tenant for the sharing of the crop as earnings for their contribution in land, labor, and capital. Crop-sharing normally involves grain crops such as small grains, corn, milo, and soybeans. However, crop-sharing also occurs in the production of cotton, hay, and rice. The landowner's share of the crop depends on the contribution made toward production of the crop. Landowner's, at a minimum, contribute land. Similarly, the tenants share of the crop depends on the contribution made. The tenant will provide, at a minimum, machinery and labor. However, each cropshare leasing arrangement is unique, reflecting the contribution made by each party and the negotiating strength of each party. One aspect of negotiating between tenants and landowners is how inputs are split.

http://agebb.missouri.edu/mgt/preciseag.htm

Extractions: A general theme of a recent conference of precision ag service suppliers emphasized that site-specific agriculture must first be profitable for the producer. If the farmer can't make any money from precision ag, then how can the service industries expect to do business? An old rule for pricing ag chemicals was that farmers would pay $1 for every $3 that a product returned. With reduced commodity prices, basic economics dictates that either farmers will use less or the cost of inputs must fall if service providers expect farmers to use the same quantities they did when crop prices were higher. In a nutshell, site-specific service providers should be willing to negotiate on price. A farmer should bargain hard on the cost of soil sampling, variable rate application charges, even fertilizer. These are tough times, and everyone in the industry will have to squeeze their profit margins. Fertilizer Levels Basic economics dictates that the value of the last dollar spent on fertilizer should return a dollar's worth of crop. We can generally assume that fertilizer levels follow the law of diminishing marginal product, i.e., that the last pound of fertilizer produces less additional crop than the previous pound. So, if the price of the crop decreases, the profit-maximizing amount of fertilizer must decrease as well.

Its members are drawn from around the world and represent the countries or regions from which they come. Council revues applications from countries to run congresses, decides on which applications to accept and when, and then acts to support the local organisation in preparing for a Congress. Council members help to identify suitable speakers for Congresses, and encourage the production of articles for the Journal. They provide information on what is happening in the farm management world in their respective areas. Council meets every two years at the international congresses, although it remains active in between congresses, with the Executive Members making decisions as necessary. Several Council Members work in an international context. As IFMA is a not-for-profit-making organisation Council Members do not receive remuneration.

Extractions: Farm Management Northeastern farmers produce literally hundreds of products ranging from traditional crop and livestock products to vegetables, nursery products, greenhouse products. For the purposes of this study, it was decided that the research would focus on key products for which researchers, agents, policymakers, and farmers typically need information. Crop production costs include expenses for materials used in production such fertilizers, chemicals, seeds or plants, and fuel; costs of land, labor, machinery and management; and irrigation and marketing costs where applicable. Livestock production costs include expenses for replacement stock, feed, utilities, insurance, medicines and marketing; cost of labor and management; and cost of land and buildings. In addition, interest on operating capital was charged on variable costs in all cases. Since standardized values have been used in the development of the budgets, they are able to provide the type of information needed for management decisions and for comparing relative profits and cost structures between enterprises. The detailed methodology for the estimation of production costs and net returns is discussed below. A. CROP BUDGETS

Extractions: Q. What is the Farm? A: The Farm community is a cooperative enterprise of families and friends living on three square miles in southern middle Tennessee. We started the Farm in the hope of establishing a strongly cohesive, outwardly-directed community, a base from which we could, by action and example, have a positive effect on the world as a whole. The Farm is a human scale, full featured settlement founded by Stephen Gaskin, and 320 San Francisco hippies in 1971 as an experiment in sustainable, developmentally progressive human habitat. Being "full featured," it has all of the usual implements of village lifegrocery store, medical clinic, filling station, schools, water systems, pharmacy, post office, cemetery, and scores of businesses and residences. Being "sustainable," it attemptsin all aspectsto harmlessly integrate human activities into the natural world in a way that is supportive of healthy human development and can be successfully continued into the indefinite future. Being "developmentally progressive," it has a history of constantly pushing the envelope of what is economically feasible or even possible. While failures are an integral part of the experimental process, The Farm's successes are numerous and dramatic. Among ourselves we try to use agreement and mutual respect to generate a friendly working environment. We recognize that there are many paths toward realizing personal ideals and that people have a wide range of individual social values, but as a group, we do not accept the use of violence, anger or intimidation for solving problems. The fabric of our community is created by our friendship and respect for one another, and for our land. The institutions we have developed to organize our community have changed over the years and will probably change more. The Farm is not really what we are doingit is how we are currently doing it. It is a process, rather than an end-result.

Extractions: Studies in Horticultural Management Farming and related industries currently earn more than 50% of New Zealand's total export income. To maintain and improve our market share, the management of New Zealand's farming and agribusiness industries must be excellent. Therefore it comes as no surprise to find that Lincoln's graduates in farm management are in great demand by employers. Over the years, our graduates have made an outstanding contribution to the agricultural sector. Their management training has also suited them to a wide range of jobs outside of agriculture. The subject of farm management is one of the recognised areas of excellence in teaching pursued by Lincoln University. Lincoln was one of the first universities in the world to recognise the holistic nature of primary producing systems and was the instigator of the 'farm as a whole' approach to teaching, which is now used world-wide. Students are given a well-integrated mix of academic and professional education in farm and agribusiness management. The core subjects offered involve extensive on-farm case studies and industry exposure.

Extractions: 4th February Dairying management Housing and heat detection February is a peak month for service in many dairy herds. Good heat detection is critical for successful re-breeding so additional management is now required. It is estimated that a missed heat can cost up to £100 so every effort should be made to spot cows coming into season. Providing the right environment both to encourage cows to come on heat and be seen is crucial in proper herd fertility management. Comfortable beds In the average dairy herd, one cow in every six will become lame at some point during winter housing. Remember lameness reduces fertility. The more time a cow spends lying down the less likely she is to become lame. Good bedding can increase lying time by up to 20% and is an essential element in acceptable cow comfort and performance. Good lighting A combination of poorly lit cattle courts and short day-length discourages cows coming on heat. Experimental work both in the USA and the UK shows that milk yields in cows can be increased by 6-8% by allowing up to 18 hours of light in dairy buildings every 24 hours. The cost of extra lighting will easily pay for itself especially if economy tariffs can be utilised. The other benefits of extra light is improved herd fertility, largely as a result of easier and more effective heat detection. AI facilities Failure of cows to hold to service is one of the most annoying management problems in dairy herds. Every effort should be made to provide good holding and handling facilities for cows being presented for service. The aim should be to minimise stress both on the cow and the inseminator. Try not to introduce changes to the normal grouping and feeding routine for cows during the main service period.
