Management Skills: Kentucky Beef Book

Steve Isaacs and, Jack McAllister (2010)

Summary

Management is an explicit process. It can be taught, and it can be learned. It takes time, dedication, and self-discipline. Management is often the difference between success and failure. Th e enterprise analyses of Kentucky Farm Business Management participants illustrate this point. Each year participating farms are classified into top-third and bottom-third categories based on net returns. For any given year, all farms face the same set of weather conditions, the same set of input prices, and the same set of market prices.
