3. Money

 

Finally, lets list the money you have available.  This would include savings, credit, inventory that is easy to liquidate (not farm equipment, but farm products still in storage for example).  While money is obviously part of your resource base we are listing it separately for now.  When you develop your financial plan, you will need to know how much money you can invest in income-generating activities.  So, we list it here.  Think about:

·      Income

·      Savings

·      Bank credit

·      Friends and family

·      Investments

·      Inventory

 

Now, go back and review all three components of the Whole Under Management.  Don’t be too particular about what to keep and what to cut for now.  Just get a “big picture” view of the whole system you are managing.
