There is much variability and risk in the agriculture industry. Price variability, weather and yield variability, international
trade issues, changes in technology, changes to the tax code having direct impact on marketing and entity planning
decisions, legal matters, financial management risks, and relationships between business partners and family members.
Farmers make decisions in an uncertain, risky, ever changing environment. How do you manage and make decisions in
the midst of the variability and risk that is before you?
Many of us first think of production and price risk when considering risk management. Production planning and
enterprise diversification of your operation, crop rotation, crop insurance, and hedging and forward contracting are
some of the strategies available as you consider management in these areas. What do you use as a guide in making
these decisions? Regardless of how you manage the finances on your farm, in a period of tight margins and cash flow
constraints, financial management decisions increase in importance for farm managers. There is tremendous variability
between farms, in their financial position and cost structure, and in decision‐making. This variability means there is
room for you to change your situation for the better. However, before you can improve you must know where you
stand. Having a solid set of records, and benchmarking with those records to identify strengths and weaknesses, is the
place to start in developing a risk management plan for your operation. This will allow you to focus your management
efforts and to base your decisions on your information, your resources and your circumstances. As a farm decision
maker, you need to know your cost structure and to explore the markets that are available to you. Don’t rely on what
someone else says it costs to produce the products you raise. Know your costs and use your costs as you make these
decisions. Proactively manage the financial aspects of your farm or ranch. Seek to know and understand your business
better than anyone else. The investment of your time into this process is very important as you seek to manage today’s
environment successfully. Please let us know if we can help you in this process…we would welcome the opportunity!
