Course Overview
Farm Estate Management is the collective term for various management strategies and methods that are employed to keep a farm and its structures productive and profitable. It can also be defined as the systematic process of planning, coordinating, directing, and controlling interest held on land or landed properties on the farm to achieve some optimum benefits. The process of this type of management is often associated with large commercial farms, although many of the same methods can be used with equal success on a small family-owned farm. Depending on the size of the operation, the management process may require the services of a single farm manager or a group of managers who oversee various aspects of the overall project.
In many respects, effective farm estate management is similar to the management processes that are employed with any type of business. Farm Estate management as a profession is a principal calling or vocation which requires the acquisition of special skills and knowledge in supervising the use, development, and management of land and landed properties on the farm.
