Understanding Investment Analysis for Farm Management: FE1060, 7/2019

Resumen

Investment decisions are among the most important decisions growers make. In many cases, those investments are in capital assets such as establishing a new orchard or purchasing a new piece of equipment. The process for evaluating those investments is called investment analysis or capital budgeting.
