Cultivating Success
An Agribusiness Workbook for
Beginning Farmers and
Homesteaders
Welcome to Cultivating Success, a farm and homestead planning workbook developed by Cooperative Extension to guide new and beginning farmers, homesteaders, and small-acreage landowners as they explore opportunities in agriculture.
This workbook focuses on planning and decision-making rather than production practices. It is designed to help you evaluate your goals, resources, opportunities, and challenges while building a foundation for long-term success.
Throughout the workbook, you will explore key topics such as goal setting, resource assessment, enterprise selection, financial considerations, marketing, and risk management.
