about seven percent less
feed. Heifer response is
slightly less_
Calves can be implanted
from day old, and should ' be

Watch the mash flow
BY DON PULLEN,
AG REP.
Cash flow is extremely
important - especially for
those only remaining in
business by courtesy of the
bank. However, it's easy to
forget about other important
aspects of financial
>naragement if we become
pre -occupied with cash flow
budgeting only in an attempt
to project needed bank loans.
Although many businesses
make .a profit each year,
there is a growing problem
with running out of cash -
particularly with escalating
input costs. Trying to finance
a farming operation with 20
percent interest can be an
alarming situation. At 20
percent compounded in-
teres- money disables itself
in 3.6- yeas, Le- (72 is tim-
"magic figure") 72 divided
by 20 - equals 3.6, similarly
at six percent - from the old
days, 72 divided by 6 equals
12 years. It's important to
realize the time difference in
the money cost when making
farm plans_ In fact, after
doing the paper work, we
may determine that some
plans need to be put on hold.
It's stiff a fact --if it doesn't
work on paper- watch it!
Some forecasters caution
that in many situations, the
time a may come when we
can't count on continued
inflation of assets to bail us
out of an impending financial
bind. A business must make
a profit; otherwise, even-
tually it's heading for
disaster. With today's
economy, in many farming
operations a monthly, or at
the very least, a quarterly
profit and loss statement will
be useful to you and your
partner" -the bunker.
As a historical picture of
profit - a profit and loss
stternent for the entire -
previous year is helpful. The
amount of borrowing and the
interest charged is an in-
dication of the farmer's
capital position. Borrowing
is determined by personal as
well as business decisions_ i
Impulsive buying may spell
the beginning of the end.
Cash flowing into and out
of a business can be readily
seen in the bank statement.
A cash flow budget will help
forecast peak borrowing
requirements and interest
charges payable to the bank.
The capital structure of a
business is the third im-
portant ingredient for
successful financial
management Be certain to
pay attention to, accurate
current and projected asset
and liability statements.
Many farm operations
showing poor profit potential
remain in business by in-
creasing ,. bank borrowing
