Spreadsheets and Documents
Click HERE to access downloads for farmers.
Details:
Over the years we’ve constructed and accumulated a host of easy to use spreadsheets and documents which we utilize to plan, manage, and execute farm enterprises each year. All are available for purchase HERE. They are, to us, invaluable. We’ve put in thousands of hours so that with a few simple data point entries, automatic calculations can be made for various dates such as weening, egg to field to harvest, feed calculations, weight gain calculations, and full gross profit analysis outputs for each enterprise, including:
- Broilers
- Layers
- Cows
- Pigs
- Garlic
- A full scale Business Planning Spreadsheet including a complete Holistic Financial Management Suit built around Alan Savory’s Holistic Financial Planning model.
