Review: Excellent resource for the beginning farmer!!! - For the beginning/want-to-be farmer this book is priceless!!! It answered many of our questions regarding what it means to be a farmer and helped us to develop the 'farm as a business' perspective, especially with respect to taxes, keeping track of farm income/expenses, plugging leaks, etc. The author presented a very simple and excellent method for keeping up with these necessary details. The example worksheets for budgeting/tracking the productivity of various farming ventures, discussions regarding the separation of personal and farm expenses/accounts, marketing strategies, etc. help to further effectively illustrate the author's points. Discussions regarding increasing the farm's assets versus investing outside the farm were useful for pointing out the importance of planning for retirement and recognizing that expenses are not investments, but simply expenses. We also appreciated the discussions regarding increasing efficiency (blocking tasks, making a calendar, scheduling time for important tasks, etc.), employee management (weekly meetings, multiple employees on big tasks, breaking up large tasks into smaller ones, rotating/mixing up hard and fun tasks in the same day, etc.), and business plan development (staying focused, keeping your goals in mind, dropping non-profitable activities, etc.). In short, the book is easy to read and flows nicely from one topic to the next. It is clearly written from a hands-on management perspective making it very practical and useful.
Review: A True Keeper. A MUST READ for any current or potential business owner or farmer. - Wow, this was one of the best business books for a "small business owners approach" I have ever read. And I read a lot. This book is so spot on and truly educational for a small business owner, not just an "Organic Farmer" business handbook. If you are considering starting a business, this covers all the business operations side that can be adapted to any business. If you learn the lessons and approaches in this book, you will understand how to identify profitable profit lines within your various products and sales channels. You will be able to effectively manage your business instead of letting it manage you. As someone that has owned or run a number of small businesses, Big-4 consulted to Fortune 1000 organizations and a Sr. financial analyst forecasting over $1B for the US Navy technology programs with multiple designations and top-tier degrees, I can not recommend this book more highly than the review above.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just What I Was Looking For
*by S***R on August 21, 2010*

For the beginning farmer, this book is an excellent resource. It's chock full of practical suggestions (based on the farmer's years of experience) and examples for keeping records on the farming enterprise. At this point I'm about half-way through the book and have not yet accessed the CD which is included, but I expect the remainder of the book and CD will be just as useful as the first half. Sometimes I feel "organizationally challenged" but with this book I do not have to "reinvent the wheel" and can make better decisions about my farm because I will know precisely where I stand with the finances. This book not only addresses finances, but also time-management issues which are just as important as the dollars and cents. The happiness factor is greatly enhanced when your life is in balance and you feel like you are reaching your goals. This book also addresses dealing with staff which is a huge topic in itself. Thank you, Richard Wiswall, for writing this book and saving me several hundred hours of my life trying to figure out how to balance the books and keep my sanity. You are as much of a hero to me as Joel Salatin is for his insignts and leadership in organic farming.
