Farm Business Management and Credit Analysis: A Project in Managerial Problem Solving 28.621-.622

摘要

The project is the development of a training and/or reference handbook that will aid Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) employees in supervising farm applicants and borrowers with management and credit decisions. The information presented is a collection of accepted and proven ideas that have been condensed, described and accumulated into one handbook. This project covers such topics as the uses and purposes of farm records, financial statements, the various types of farm analyses, farm budgeting, risk management, credit, methods to provide effective management assistance and finally forms FmHA presently uses to analyze farming and ranching operations. Based on the research done, several recommendations have been made concerning the use of this handbook and various changes that need to be made to improve the quality of farm management and credit analyses that FmHA presently provides.
