Farm Cooperation Planning Tool
The “Farm Cooperation Planning Tool” is designed to quickly and easily identify ways that farmers can increase their cooperation with one another and thereby enhance their profitability, sustainability, and enjoyment. While there is already a lot of cooperation among farmers, the “Farm Cooperation Planning Tool” can make resource and information sharing more systematic and efficient. Every farm is unique, so the spreadsheet tool seeks to highlight information that is applicable to any farm. The “Individual Farm Survey” asks questions about a single farm operation, while the “Farm Cooperation Planning Tool” compiles the survey results from multiple farms. Enjoy!
