Questions:
1. What do you think the importance of planning farm production?
2. What do you consider in planning a farm? Explain.

What Is It

What is Production Planning?

Production planning is a strategic plan which farmer do whenever they
want to produce goods. Production planning includes confirming product to be
produce, production volume, capacity planning, materials required, scheduling
timelines etc. This is important for farmer who to maximize efficiency, reduce
costs & have a sustainable production cycle.
Importance of Production Planning
This involves making a detailed production schedule. It also involves
deciding from where to obtain the raw materials, how much raw materials are
required, when should the resources be made available for production,
planning the sequence of activities, etc. The main aim is maximizing profits,
minimizing costs and meeting the customer requirements. Production planning
also aims at predicting the possible glitches in production and ensuring
smooth execution of operations.

4
Steps in Production Planning
Some of the main steps in the production plan progress are:
1. Analyzing customer demand.
2. Determining production capacity & timelines.
3. Evaluate raw materials, output volume etc.
4. Production control, quality control, accounting.
5. Evaluation & improvement of production system.
6. Complete final production of finished goods.
In operating farm, planning covers all of the details how your farm
operation will produce products for market. This can include considering the
production capacity of your land, the varietals or breeds you select for your
climate and production practices, the types of equipment, buildings, and
facilities you have or need, your production practices, and more.
One of the most important things to consider is your land. Check out our
resources on land access and evaluation to learn about resources that can help
you evaluate your land’s soil, water, and other attributes.
Accessing Land
Across the country, land access is one of the primary issues facing
beginning farmers. Land may be unavailable in your community or available,
but priced out of your range. Either way, it can be a major challenge to starting

5
a farm. In some areas of the country, these challenges are causing farmers to
stop looking for land to purchase and focusing solely on leasing. Unfortunately,
finding good farmland to lease may be as difficult as finding good farmland to
purchase, and comes along with its own set of challenges.
Farm Financials
Most of us don’t come to farming because we love bookkeeping,
marketing, or reading insurance plans. However, those elements are critical to
being successful in agriculture. As Richard Wiswall, author of The Organic
Farmer’s Business Handbook has said, if you want to keep farming, you have
to “farm for profit, not production.”
At the same time, across the entrepreneurship spectrum, businesses
require three different kinds of smarts and interests: passion for and
knowledge about the product, the marketing, and the accounting. Although
every business needs all three, it’s incredibly rare for one human to have them
all. As entrepreneurs, we all typically have passion for the product and then we
likely get excited about the marketing or the accounting. It’s important to figure
out which is your passion early on.
Regardless of how you achieve it, managing and thoroughly
understanding your farm’s financials can make a big difference in your level of
success. It will help you to track your position and know when you’re having a
good year or a bad year so you can pivot and make changes. It will allow you to
talk to potential lenders, investors, customers, and donors more effectively. It
will help you to make better decisions and will help you make it through the
first level of farming operations.

Consideration on Land Asset

Land contract or owner financing: A land contract sale is an agreement

through which the seller (original owner) of the land agrees to finance the sale
to a new buyer. The new buyer moves onto the land and begins making
payments directly to the seller/owner based on an agreed-upon interest rate
and other terms. The title remains with the owner until all payments are made.
The contract may also provide for monthly payments for a number of years.

Inheritance: Property left to a relative or non-family member at the time of

death. If the deceased had a will, it stipulates how assets are to be distributed.
Sometimes the farm real estate goes to one child and other assets go to others.

6
Sometimes the farm goes to all children and they have to figure out how to deal
with that. Sometimes there is debt that accompanies the asset. Good estate
planning is essential, and estate taxes can be avoided or minimized.

Gift: Real estate can be gifted from the owner during his or her lifetime to
another party such as a beginning farmer who may or may not be a family
member.

Work-in: In this scenario, a young farmer joins the senior farmer’s operation,
typically starting as an employee and working up to an equity position as a
partner or member of the farm business company. Assets (and management)
are transferred gradually.

Lease Options

1. Short-term rental: Typically, one to three years in length, short term leases
can offer both flexibility and some stability. There are disadvantages too,
such as lack of security and inability to build equity.

2. Long-term lease: Long-term leases typically last for a minimum of 5 years

and more, allowing assured continuity and more opportunity for tenants to
plan and invest in the farm business and the farmland.

3. Lease-to-Purchase Arrangements: There are two basic types of agreements

that enable a tenant to acquire ownership of the rental property in the
future. In a Lease with Option to Purchase the lease grants the tenant an
option to purchase the property at a time in the future. Usually the price
and the terms of the purchase are set forth at the outset. The option may
run for the length of the lease or for only a portion of the lease period. The
lease payments are not part of the consideration of the purchase price
unless the terms specifically allow for that. In a Lease-Purchase Agreement,
the tenant leases the property and is obligated by the terms of the lease to
buy the property.

4. Sharecropping/Share milking: In a sharecropping agreement, a new farmer

operates a farm on behalf of the farm owner for an agreed share of farm
income and expenses. The arrangement offers young farmers a way to build
assets and dairy management skills without requiring a large amount of
capital input at the beginning of their careers.

7
Several other variables are key to consider;

 Land Quality - It is important to know the soil types on a farm and the
natural productive capability of the land.

 Fertility - Soil fertility levels are often overlooked. Farms with high soil test
levels for phosphorus and potassium will require considerably less fertilizer
for crop production, and thus may have more rental value. Similarly, farms
with low fertility levels may require extra applications of phosphate and
potassium to raise nutrient levels to an acceptable level. If the tenant is
responsible for the cost of building the fertility level of the farm, this will
lower the rental value of the farm. The removal of crop residues such as
corn stalks or crops waste is removing additional nutrients. These nutrients
should be replaced through heavier fertilizer applications.

 Use of Facilities - Use of storage units, machinery storage, livestock

buildings, and other facilities can add to the cash rent value on a farm unit.
In some cases, the use of these facilities is included in rent paid for the
tillable land. In other cases, lease terms call for a separate rent to be paid
for facilities.

 Expected crop returns - The potential profit or net return from crop
production is a major determinant in the rental rate for a farm. This will
likely only be applicable if there is recent production on the farm that is
similar to what you have planned.

 Services provided by tenant – In many cases, tenants perform services for

which they are not paid. These may include such things as providing the
labor, irrigation repair, make building repairs, maintain lanes and roadways
on the farm, etc. These services need to be recognized in establishing the
lease amount.
