Dairy MAP “Managing for Success” helps the dairy producer chart a direction for their farm and turn ideas into action. Producers learn to use four management concepts to organize their business: the mission state ment, “SMART” goals, tactical plans and control plans. The tools provide a framework to take the small steps needed to accomplish major changes in a farm business. Nonfarm business managers have successfully used these concepts for many years to improve pro ductivity and efficiency. Dairy farming is a business, and top business skills are just as vital to the bottom line as getting the chores done. Working together with business partners, participants develop a mission statement and a set of “SMART” goals for their farm operation. The mission statement and goals provide the foundation the producer uses to chart the course of future management de cisions. The mission and goals build a framework to evaluate fi nancial decisions, feeding man agement decisions, labor manage ment decisions and every other major decision on the farm. Ad vanced Dairy-MAP modules teach producers to apply the con cepts to the management of fin ance and labor resources. A “Managing for Success” workshop is planned for Friday, February 7, 1997 and Friday, February 14, 1997 at the Old Country Buffet along Route 30 in York. The workshops run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day and cost $5O/farm operation. Meal costs are additional and will be payable at the workshops. Many agribusinesses provide scholar ships for producers to attend the sessions. Reimbursement in formation will be provided at the workshops. The workshops will be led by Tim Beck, York County Extension Dairy/Livestock Agent; Duane Duncan, Cumberland County Dairy Agent; Roland Freund, Regional Farm Manage ment Agent; and Laura Watts, Cumberland County Agricultural Agent To register for the workshops, call Penn State Cooperative Ex- Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 1, 1907417 for Success’ Workshop tension at (111) 840-7408.

Penn State Cooperative Extension in York County will offer a comput erized form record keeping course for Windows O-based computers on Monday, February 3,1997 and Monday, February 10,1997 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for farm record keepers interested in computeriz ing their farm accounting. The workshop series is intended to familiarize the farm manager and/ or his designated record keeper with a farm financial record keep ing system that uses low-cost, flexible, easy to use computer software. Participants will be asked to bring their computers to the workshops. Each session will be held in Meeting Room 2 at the York County Extension Office. The reasons for computerized farm record keeping are: • Software is now very eco nomical and readily available. • Software is time-proven, easy to learn, and adaptable to any farm enterprise. • Software is flexible and adapt able to simple or complex record keeping systems. • The ‘Tamily Farm Chart of Accounts” developed by Dr. Larry Jenldns, Farm Management Spe cialist from Penn State University, will help farm managers utilize the full potential of low cost com puterized record keeping systems. The course outline includes set ting up accounts and categories, printing financial reports and cus tomizing categories and accounts for each farm operation. Accounting concepts will be demonstrated using Microsoft Money® software.
