On a small farm, sales rise and fall seasonally. It’s important to think of income on an annual basis and set aside money for the winter. Join me as I walk you through how we manage our small farm’s annual cash flow cycle, including tips for making sure you have enough money to live on while operating and expanding your small farm.

Very helpful. I especially like the point about planning for the slow season while you’re still working your day job. At our farm we’re budgeting exactly for that.
Very informative
Very nicely explained

I own a small electronics/wire assembly distribution company. For the first five years I worked full time at a job and built my business up and all of the profits from the business went right back into more inventory. Banking my early rewards. Just like in a farm you need to bank money in different assets for down the road for your business. Your advice works across all business lines Pete. The greatest effort and sacrifices come at the beginning of your adventure. People think that business is easy and sometimes it can be, most of time it takes all off your efforts for years in order to get the rewards way down the road. In this age of instant gratification it is hard to make people understand what it took to get from point A to Z in your business. The most important advice I could offer is that you keep investing in your business and have a back up plan with investments that pay dividends. If the sh!t hits the fan, you can always fall back on the investments. Thank you Pete for an awesome business plan video.
Pete, I thought you might like to know, I decided to watch all of your videos again starting from the beginning. I think that they are very well made. Thank you.
Manure, the Best fertalizer there is
Wow! What a great video Pete! I know I'm three years late watching this but worth it. I love the nuts and bolts discussions. Very informative. I'll be going through all of your videos as I did with Farmer Tyler out in California.
Don't worry, YT will help a little in 3 years.
Good day Mr. Pete first off thank you ALWAYS for your WONDERFUL videos! Now that this is 3 years old, what are your bulk costs now for meat bird feed now vs .16/lb 3 years ago? Currently (01/2023) here in central FL I'm paying .31/lb. Thank you both again we love you guys and STAY BLESSED!🤙🇺🇸🇷🇺ðŸ™
Hei. I am Norwegian. I like the videos.
sarcastic comment……………. love that this "old" video has no Covid disclaimers.. I hope i did not curse it ?
Great Video Pete. Common Sense is why I keep coming back. No matter what you do for a living…Cash Flow is the common dominator. Budgeting is the partner to Cash Flow. Accounting 101.
I'm a 100% New York City boy. Farming is not my personal thing. But the life lessons you give in this video are outstanding!! Today's teens and young adults really need to learn that life is not all apps and social media. The world can only function through the efforts of hardworking folks like you. I love ALL of your videos! Thanks.
Your a natural teacher… especially when you relax in your environment. Your explanation makes the farm to market to table clearly understood and hopefully appreciated! Thanks for sharing your expertise and time!

Great Video Pete! You're so lucky. Here in the Philippines, nope, only the FAT TREADER LIVES. Am sorry to say. This is so educational. More power.
Thank you for so much informative video. Right now I am a truck driver but I don't know about my future planning. But my desire is to become a farmer. Your advices will be very helpful for me if I change my mind to be in farming. I have been watching your videos for months and they give me the taste of haven. God bless you and your family
I've just recently found you, and am also in the process of switching to farming. You have good advise, and I am going to go through your videos to learn as much as possible. Thanks

Some of these older videos still slip in. It’s hard to honestly explain why I enjoy your videos so damn much, Pete. And I’ll never be a farmer. I still take inspiration from you. Fantastic video.
