| Abstract
|
:
|
Based on research carried out within the farming community and academic studies, this book assesses and explains the core skills needed to become a successful farm manager. Observation, anticipation of plan outcomes and risk management are identified as key requirements, and each of these categories is broken down into separate skills such as problem identification and visual observation, which are in turn dissected and analysed. Practical methods for acquiring or improving each skill are covered in detail, with practice exercises to engage the reader in active participation. This book is an essential resource for farm managers and students of farm management and agribusiness.--COVER
