Farm
Management,
http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/farmman2/index.htm
Description:
Farm management is not a series of canny, split second, or "heat
of the battle" maneuver skills that are innately personal. Farm management
is a learned set of skills that allows the manager to make informed decisions
and to implement changes that will move the operation toward its goals.
Management success can be measured by the quality and timeliness of decisions,
which are likewise affected by the quality and timeliness of information.
