Cover
Once farmers just
had to worry
about production,
then came the
requirement for
better financial
management
skills, and now
marketing skills
are being
emphasized. The
challenge for
farmers in the
future is to take
advantage of a
wealth of new
information -gathering technology to fine tune
production and cut costs.
