Marketing
Good marketing and business planning are basic and vital components of farm operations. Farmers must be flexible and innovative with their business, especially in the current agricultural climate. The Small Farms Team researches, promotes, and teaches good business practices for small-scale farm enterprises. For marketing information on a specific farm product, additional information can be found under Crops or Animals.
