Why Agricultural Alternatives?

Unlike publications for experienced producers, the Agricultural Alternatives fact sheets are developed for those less familiar with the enterprise. Each fact sheet contains information on marketing, production, enterprise budgeting, and resource requirements to help users make a balanced evaluation of the enterprise for their operation.

Each publication contains a list of references, websites, and trade and marketing association addresses where more information can be obtained on the enterprise. Additional facts sheets focus on business management topics including enterprise budgeting, financing, marketing, and cooperatives.
