Service
outreach overview
- The purpose of the Farm Business Management related work of the NWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program, PRO-DAIRY is to increase the likelihood that farm business owners in a nine county region achieve desired results via enhanced general business management and farm financial management capacities. The NWNY region comprises the following nine counties in NYS: Niagara, Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, Monroe, Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, and Yates. To achieve the above purpose, I, as the Farm Business Management Specialist with the NWNY Program, am responsible for developing and delivering to farm business owners extension education designed to enhance management skills, and abilities to apply principles and ideas from finance and economics in a management context. Owners of farm businesses enhance their management skills, their capacities to the measure the financial condition and performance of their businesses, and their capacities to utilize economic principles in decision making via workshops, classes, presentations, writings, and individual farm business summary and analysis work. Management Education. Emphasis is on enhancing the planning, implementation and control functions of the farm business manager. Farm Finance and Economics. Emphasis is on enhancing participants’ abilities to measure the financial condition and performance of the business for management purposes, and to use economic principles in decision making. Cornell University Cooperative Extension's Dairy Farm Business Summary Program, and other Farm Business Summary and Analysis tools play prominent roles here. Economic analyses of proposed changes to farm businesses provide farm business owners with information for decision making -- for example, economic analysis of stacked corn hybrids, hay conditioners, zone tillage depths and others.
