Richard Wiswall discusses the business of organic farming (30 mins)
In The Organic Farmer's Business Handbook, Richard Wiswall shares advice on how to make your vegetable production more efficient, better manage your employees and finances, and turn a profit. From his twenty-seven years of experience at Cate Farm in Vermont, Wiswall knows firsthand the joys of starting and operating an organic farm—as well as the challenges of making a living from one. Farming offers fundamental satisfaction from producing food, working outdoors, being one's own boss, and working intimately with nature. But, unfortunately, many farmers avoid learning about the business end of farming; because of this, they often work harder than they need to, or quit farming altogether because of frustrating—and often avoidable—losses.

Farms.....or organic farmland is the most important land in the world...as evidenced by our sick society,...due to NOT having enough good God given organic foods...and the people that grow such food...should be treated and paid like RockStars.
Richard...I'm not sure if you "read" the replies that people write here....but if you do...you have much to teach...thank you. -
I love his approach. Farmers are amongst the most important people on this earth. Without food we don't live.
