Farm Rural Business Services

SAC's 32nd edition of the Farm Management Handbook continues to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information for farmers, rural professionals, students and consultants involved in the assessment and planning of farm businesses.

Planning allows returns to be assessed and enterprise mixes adjusted to strike the right balance between risk and return.  For this reason the livestock and crop gross margins remain central to the Farm Management Handbook.  This year we have also added information on renewable heat incentives(RHIs), more detail on renewable energy sources and incorporated a summary fodder crop table.

The 2011/12 Handbook provides:

• detailed gross margins for livestock, arable, forage and organic enterprises
• information on renewable energy and diversification projects
• whole farm data for English and Scottish farms
• information on rural aid, credit and taxation
• budget values for labour, contracting charges and associated time utilisation
• projected buildings costs and forestry returns
• key reference data such as fuel use, residual values of fertilisers and feedstuffs, conversion rates and prices
• details of relevant contacts and further sources of information

The new 2011/12 edition is now available at a cost of £32.00 plus postage and packaging. Payment will be required at the time of purchase. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.
