As farm businesses grow and your management team faces decisions with significant impact - for example, what type and how many employees to hire - it is important that you have a clear sense of the undergirding values you and your management team identify to guide the growth of your business.
The Developing a Values-Based Vision for Your Farm workbook helps producers examine their skills, interests, beliefs, expectations, obstacles and strengths to set a holistic vision for their farming operations. The answers to these questions will guide the decisions and direct the choices you make in growing your business.
