Teaser:A guide to developing a business plan for farms and rural businesses.
What problem does the tool address?:Business planning is an important part of owning and managing a farm. Producers traditionally go through the business planning process to: 1) Evaluate production alternatives; 2) Identify new market opportunities; and 3) Communicate their ideas to lenders, business partners and family. As agricultural entrepreneurs define and create themselves away from more “conventional” farming models, business planning has become more important than ever.
What solution does the tool offer?:Producers considering innovative management practices and immature markets use business plans to map out strategies to take advantage of new opportunities such as organic farming, on-farm processing, direct marketing and rural tourism. A business plan helps producers demonstrate that they have fully researched their proposed alternative; they know how to produce their product, how to sell what they produce, and how to manage financial risk.
