Aovemoer i , r.u:i Calculators, computer analysis new tools given farmers in course Programable calculators and computer analysis are new tools being used by farmers enrolled in Blue Mountain Community Col lege's Adult Farm Manage ment program. The program, directed by Walt Giacomini, is in its fifth year of helping area farmers develop a farm record system as an aid in managing family farms. Forty-six farm fami lies participated in the pro gram last year. A new farm management class is scheduled to start Nov. 19. The class will meet at 7 p.m. in Pioneer Hall room 160. Classes meet every third Monday of the month thereaf ter. There is still room in the class and interested farmers may call Giacomini at the college (276-1260) or at home (276-8583.) "I am really excited about the new programable calcula tor," Giacomini commented. This portable tool will allow him to go to participating farms and help calculate machinery costs, plan taxes, balance feed rations and analyze marketing plans right on the spot. Computer analysis is also available to participants in the program. Programs are avai lable to analyze net worth and income statements as well as crop and livestock enter prises. The Adult Farm Manage ment program is a three-year process. Farm record keeping is stressed the first year with analysis introduced during the second year. In the third year, management decisions are made based on the analysis that has been developed. . Instruction is given on various phases of farm man agement including record keeping, cash flow budgeting and analysis, marketing, ma chinery management, labor management and tax manage ment.
