Record Keeping Process: Targeting
1.What goal do I want to
accomplish?
2.What pieces of information do I
need to accomplish that goal?
3.Where in my farming process is
that information generated?

Targeted Goals
Agronomy: Maximize yield, optimize soil
fertility, maximize water use efficiency,
select cultural practices
Business: Increase efficiency of labor,
input, energy use, identify profit centers,
more effectively target markets
Reporting / Compliance: Organic, GAP,
taxes, customer communications
Workflow: Improve on-farm collaboration,
accumulate institutional knowledge

information as it is generated?

information organized to enable later
use?
