Why Is Planning Important in the Law of the Farm?
What wise farmers know that the common person doesn’t?
1) Failing to plan is planning to fail. Planning leads to proper timing in
getting the work done. Farming offers great training grounds for the school of life.
2) Excellence has to be pursued since mediocrity happens automatically.
There is great value in planning, scheduling, and organizing. There is power in
developing simple yet flexible plans. Devise and stay flexible with your plans yet
stay true to your goals.
3) Financial planning is critical to survival on the farm and in life. Understand
the value of timely buying and selling. Know when to buy with cash and when to
finance. Let money flow freely like a spring, never letting money stagnate.
Always live within your means.
4) Learn how to lay out plans and let God guide the steps. Farming
today is not for the faint of heart. Planning is important so we can
understand, value, and make good use of resources.
5) Every season offers opportunities for us to learn and grow. Value
the associating with like-minded people. Value and appreciate good help. Know
your competitive advantages and learn how to leverage them. The best belongs to
those who get up early and go execute their plans. There is value in learning from everyone
and sharing with others. There is value in information from trusted sources.
6) The truth only comes to those who seek it. Discipline is the hallmark
of being a student of life for life. The wise farmer is self-disciplined. A
farmer learns to love discipline from a young age. The needs at the farm are a
sign of when to ask for God’s help.
7) The wise farmer seeks first to acquire spiritual things then material
things. Faith is handed down from generation to generation. Understand the
power of an idea whose time has come. Know to prepare the soil for the crops
and the soul for the Creator. Plan and build your future on solid ground.
Be blessed, and then be a blessing to others
