A3B-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 7, 2002 TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS Success begins in your mind. Before you can convince others that they should buy your farm’s products or services, first you need to totally believe in them. And, you need to translate that belief into an action plan for your farm. Last time we discussed the need to have a clear vision of both your personal mission in life and your farm’s mission. You did your homework ami put down on paper a vision so clear, so grounded, and so full of enthusi asm, that it’s alive! Your positive energy is contagious. You and your family derive enough energy from this spirit that you feel as though you have what you need to propel you through both the good times and the bad. But no successful person or business is an overnight sensa tion. Success does not occur hap- ESTATE AUCTION FRL, SEPT. 13th & SAT, SEPT. 14th, 2002 Friday - Sept. 13th - 4:00 PM - V.

This vision you have created needs to be translated into goals. A goal could be described as a dream with a deadline. Your goals are targets or desired outcomes for your farm. They relate it to func tions of your farm business rather than individuals. Each goal needs to be measurable and compatible with your personal and farm mis sion; for example, I will increase my volume of strawberry sales by 30 percent this year. A goal can have several objec tives. The objectives are specific strategies on how you are going to achieve those goals. Who is going to do it, when are they going to do it, and how are you going to get there? Objectives are always measurable and assigned to someone within your business. Some objectives for the above goal are: I will soil test my ground to determine the best soils for strawberry production. I will consult with extension or an agronomist on crop appropriate ness, weed and disease problems in my area. I will investigate at least two to three additional mar ket outlets for my strawberries. And so on. After you establish your goals and objectives, you will want to know how does your farm com pare with similar farms, or with a standard. In other words, what are the benchmarks, or proven ways of assessing your farm’s performance? You need to look at your goals and determine what you were able to deliver. Did you meet the goal of improving strawberry sales by 30 percent this year? If not, why not? How does your farm stack up to other local farm production and mar keting capabilities? Which areas need improvement, which areas are your strengths? What inform ation or talent do you need to bring in to improve these abili ties? Can you hire out the jobs that are weaknesses? What is the cost and potential return? To grow your farm business, excellence is almost always a pre requisite.
