This manual does not attempt to cover every factor of issue which affects farm performance rather we will cover a broad outline of the factors affecting decision making on the farm and examine in some detail some of the major constraints to production and methods of minimising these constraints.
The first question one must ask is: what is wrong with things as they are?
· There is only a problem if the farmer wants or needs to improve:
e.g.
-to produce more
-make more money
-get a better return from labour
-comply with a law or local convention
-other personal reason
· If the farmer wishes to improve production, he/she needs to consider firstly how the farm is operating at present:
-what and how much of each product is the farm producing?
-what are the daily activities?
-what amount of land, money and time is involved in producing each product?
-which products are the most profitable?
-how does production of different products inter-relate?
· What are the main factors stopping the farmer from increasing performance? [constraints]
-It may be that one crop uses up all the available supply of some limited resource, such as working capital, water or labour. This crop may be very profitable but if it means that other resources [such as land] can not be fully farmed, say because of a labour shortage, then the farmer may riot be gaining the best benefit from the total farm system.
· Through this process of farm assessment the farmer is well placed to make the best decisions regarding changes on the farm,
The constraints that we will discuss are those which can most often be minimised through traming in practical farm work techniques [and appropriate technology, farm management and the adoption of improved animal care and management as well as improved forage species, and supplements.
Given training, the farmer can decide how and when to adjust the types and balance of crops, pastures and livestock in the farm system, in order to plan and carry out a programme of development.
More appropriate types of plants and animals can be raised which are not affected by the constraints to production.
