THE FUSE

Farming is more than planting and harvesting; it is running a business. Without accurate records, you cannot measure performance, control costs, or make informed decisions. Farmers in South Africa and elsewhere often lose potential profits due to poor record-keeping. Proper documentation allows you to track income, expenses, labour, inputs, yields, and sales. It also helps with regulatory compliance, loan applications, and strategic planning. This guide provides practical steps to establish effective record-keeping systems for a profitable farm business.
