Publisher Description Any farming operation is also a business, and because of the nature of agricultural production, that business and its operators are susceptible to risk. Production can be affected by weather and drought, income can be affected by market prices and shifts, government can impinge and farmers can be injured; they all affect the farm business. Areas covered in this book include: * The farm business structure * Weather and drought * Long and short term market fluctuations * Assets and borrowing * Government intervention and exchange rates * Risks to farm operators * Information reliability. Finally the agricultural manager is assisted to analyse their own operation, to plan how best to meet the problems of the farm business.
