Below is a preview of THE FARM CEO newspaper for this week (Issue No. 15):

This week’s feature is a publication that discusses findings from the investigation of farmer’s disposition to record keeping. If you’ve been following my writing on the subject of Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas, you will know that I have written several pieces that stress the importance of farmers developing the healthy habit of data recording and analysis for timely and accurate decision making.

I found it quite interesting that the farmers interviewed asserted that they did not keep records mainly because it was “not beneficial” to them.

That, to me, is a clear indication of the need for proper education and reorientation of the farmers about the powerful Key Performance Indicators, they can quickly, and easily track to manage their farms more profitably. The immediate past Issue No. 14, of this newspaper (The Farm CEO™) featured several of my articles which discussed such KPIs and their methods of calculation in elaborate detail.

Here are the headlines, reviews – and links – for this week’s featured news items:
