Your Farm Management Team Most successful businesses with large capital expenses and in tense competition rely on a board of directors to help guide them through the year. Each director brings specific knowledge to the table, and the whole business benefits. Directors have a vested interest in being a part of a suc cessful company. Farm opera tions are no different. Who will be on your farm's board of directors this year? Look at your business plan. Pull it off the shelves and review the strengths and weaknesses of your operation. By sharing your rec ords with a team of professionals that have detailed knowledge about specific parts of an agricultural operation, you can identify areas to fine tune your farm and maxi mize profitability.

Did your crpp yields last year meet your expectations last year, or should you look at changing your strategy? Was your return on capital investment enough to jus tify operating in the same manner this year? My dentist, Dr. Forney, is a very good dentist, but I do not let him work on my car. Likewise, my mechanic, Tony, is excellent with cars, but he's not getting near my teeth. The point is that one person cannot answer every question about the health of your operation. Ask an agronomist about your cornfields and your veterinarian about the cows. Ask your accountant about your taxes and your feed supplier about your rations. Asking the right person the right questions makes good business sense. pplication ||| • Installation • Custom Design rjot complete line of equipment in the region, have years of practical hands-on experience, and offer valuable knowledge about products and the latest, most effective manure handling equipment.
