By Org. Roger Rodrigo Dos Santos - Ed. Adriano Stephan Nascente

Farm Management consists of planning, and controlling the operations carried out on the rural property. This administration provides a deeper knowledge of the activities carried out on the rural property, allowing the producer to have more security in decisions, and, therefore, to have better results in the management of the rural business. In this way, Farm Management means planning, and controlling the actions taken on the property to improve the efficiency of the rural business. The main objective of Farm Management is to carry out an economic study of the activities carried out on the rural property. The Farm Management evaluates the operations carried out on the rural property using agricultural activity management tools. In other words, the Farm Management seeks to improve productivity gains in agricultural crops or in zootechnical indices by reducing the use of agricultural inputs or improving the management of these inputs by optimizing the resources available on the property. The resources available on the property can be material, human, financial or market.

Farm Management consists of planning, and controlling the operations carried out on the rural property. This administration provides a deeper knowledge of the activities carried out on the rural property, allowing the producer to have more security in decisions, and, therefore, to have better results in the management of the rural business.

In this way, Farm Management means planning, and controlling the actions taken on the property to improve the efficiency of the rural business. The main objective of Farm Management is to carry out an economic study of the activities carried out on the rural property.

The Farm Management evaluates the operations carried out on the rural property using agricultural activity management tools. In other words, the Farm Management seeks to improve productivity gains in agricultural crops or in zootechnical indices by reducing the use of agricultural inputs or improving the management of these inputs by optimizing the resources available on the property. The resources available on the property can be material, human, financial or market.
