Using Outside Resources
  • Production agriculturalists, farmers/ranchers,
    have to be entrepreneurs in a complex
    agribusiness. Many successful farmers recognize
    that they need to be as efficient as possible
    with their resources of time, labor, equipment,
    and their money. This means acquiring outside
    resource people.
  • Those that fail to recognize this, may get
    bumped out by those that do. Sorry!
