| Summary: | Every farmer wants to be an excellent manager. Getting more out of the land
and resources held is most farmers’ ambition, particularly if it costs little to be
successful. Improvement in managerial ability does, however, involve an investment of time – time studying others’ methods, time in reading and watching,
time in practising and experimenting and, in this case, time in studying the
methods and ideas contained in the pages of this book.
The book has resulted from reviewing many studies of farmers, non-farmers
and management research journals and texts. Some of the studies, carried out
by the author, relied on interviewing farmers, both successful and less successful.
Thus, the book encapsulates what is happening in the very practical world of
modern farming and is a summary of what is, hopefully, intelligent observation
of the results of the myriads of studies conducted in many countries. It also
encapsulates many ideas from management experts in different sectors of the
economy that have value in primary production.
While the book is a practical guide to improving management, it is not a
book about the practical aspects of the physical side of farm management.
Methods of constructing a stock-proof fence, aspects of ensuring good animal
health, ways of improving soil fertility, and so on, are hardly ever mentioned.
Rather the emphasis is on the core skills and techniques of making decisions,
not on their practical implementation.
The book is divided into six parts as well as this introduction. As decisions
require information, the first function of good management is in observing all
the factors that impinge on, and make up, a farm. |
