Ever Heard The Expression 'Cash Flow Is King'?

Market gardening is the best ‘job’ I ever had. Probably just like you, I get a lot of satisfaction from providing great food to appreciative customers. But there's a catch:

'Satisfaction' doesn't pay the feed bill. Farming is a business. And every business has to make a profit.

With escalating costs and uncertain markets, sometime that's a challenge for the small operator. You need to make sure you have sufficient positive cash flow to run your operations, pay your bills, and carry you though the 'lean times'

There is a solution. Here's the simple truth:

Profit is something you plan for.

Success is never accidental. The guy who started Twitter said that. Success in any business, including farming, is a matter of preparation and planning.

Planning for profit means:

You set goals for sales and income,
You map those goals to the customers you want to serve
You present those customers with a fair price for your product
You measure and track your results against your plan

Does that sound like a lot of work? Here's another quote for you:

"Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation ".

- Robert H. Schuller

If you want to make more money on your farm, you have to plan and prepare for that result.

Besides, you didn't become a farmer because you were afraid of a little hard work.

And, I can help.

If Your Income Is Falling Short Of Expectations, You Might Need This

When I worked as a consultant in business performance improvement, one of my maxims was “You can’t manage a process unless you understand it. And you can’t understand it unless you:

1. Plan For the results you want; and,

2. Measure results compared to the plan.

What does this have to do with small farm profits?

Small farm owners need to understand the financial implications of their decisions. This enables them to make informed choices. I call this ‘financial literacy’.

Financial literacy means you can manage cash flows, track expenses, and make strategic investments. You can understand profit and loss dynamics, contributing to long-term sustainability and growth.

You comprehend financial terms such as net and gross income, markup, and margin. Understanding these terms is essential for ensuring your farm's financial health.

And you can stay in compliance with tax regulations, avoiding penalties and audits.

In short, financial literacy is vital in understanding the financial challenges of starting a farm and developing a plan to deal with them.

This course is the fast path to achieving that critical knowledge.

Don't Leave Money On The Table

If you are not Planning for Profit you are leaving money on the table.

Planning for profit is a process of building a financial plan that helps your business anticipate revenues, expenses, and profit over a specific period. It involves setting goals, forecasting income, and controlling costs to achieve your desired sales goals and profit margins.

Farms of just about any size can be profitable; it's a matter of applying some basic economic analysis and planning to design an operation that makes sense (and profits).
