The- farm manager should be comfortable with the farm records system. He/she should be able to change or adjust and individualize the system to make it “fit” his or her unique farm. When the system controls the operator, this leads to frustration, dissatisfaction, and finally inadequate records, which often results in poor decisions. Are You Getting Your Money’s Worth?
