Tools for Developing a Business Plan for a Dairy Operation

By TIM BECK

For ag professionals or producers who want to develop a business plan for the dairy operation, this library of resources provides tools that may be useful.

The site includes a Business Plan Template, Business Planning Factsheets, a Case Farm example to show how a finished product may look, and a set of Financial Resource Documents. These documents are a collection of sample reports that show the type of financial information to include in a plan. There is also a folder of Financial Tools at the site that includes both Excel spreadsheets and fillable PDF forms that can be used to create these financial reports.

From the podium in the White House briefing room, Trump Administration officials literally put the food pyramid on its head this week, flipping concentration of what Americans should eat more and less of in their diets.
