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.

Steps in Production Planning

[chart: cycle diagram; Production Planning] Center label: Production Planning Clockwise labels: Analyzing Demand; Determining capacity & timelines; Evaluate raw materials, output volume; Production, quality, accounting control; Improvement of production system; Complete final production

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 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. 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.

   
   

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.
