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-

hazardly, it’s the result of cre
ating and continually working
and revising a dynamic plan for
your farm business. 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. You are sending the
message that you’re going to be
