It's called <b>AgPlan</b> (https://www.agplan.umn.edu/) and it is free. You do not need to be a MN resident to use it. It's easy to follow and shows you examples as well as offers tips for each step.<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br />Rich & Carol<br />http://CoyoteRidgeFarms.comRich Radtkehttp://www.CoyoteRidgeFarms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-28791682252382505752011-03-11T07:41:05.137-06:002011-03-11T07:41:05.137-06:00Whimzy, thank you!

The financial side was the hardest for me--until the guy helping me told me to start from the bottom--how much you charge for what your selling multiplied by expected sales. Then you guesstimate your expenses. It's not perfect, but it's a start. Sounds like you might be planning something distantly related to Paws & Rest, so if you would like I can send you what I have done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-17834196456753273872011-03-10T12:45:25.845-06:002011-03-10T12:45:25.845-06:00Thanks guys.
