I started this blog as a way to get some of the resources I have been working on out to people who e-mail me at odd times: “do you remember that workshop you gave at that conference a few years ago…” maybe, but can I find the file where I saved the handout? You get the idea. Anyway, no promises about whether I will or won’t update this often or respond to comments or questions often. You who know me know I am a sucker for a good beginning farmer or rancher plea for help, you who don’t will have to test my limits.
I set up pages for major subjects and just uploaded the handouts I have developed over the years. I hope to add more as time goes by.
The subject pages are:
- Basic Bookkeeping and Other (I just added a new annotated chart of accounts – PD 04/03/13)
- Cash Flow Budgeting and Debt Management
- Introduction to Taxes (I just added a new PowerPoint with an overview of farm taxes. PD 04/03/13)
- Not Making a Profit is the Easy Part! (for not for profit corporations that farm)
Towards a just and sustainable food system!

Hi Poppy,
This is just amazing!
I gain so much knowlodge in your workshop, and I wanted to leave this note to tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to do this!
Thank you so much!

Thanks Linda, I really appreciate hearing from you.
Great Poppy, keep it up!
I am on two missions
1) To educate ranchers on how to better handle their cattle, to the point they can implement intensive grazing programs without having interior fences.
2) inform the public (especially PETA et al) that cattle are not being treated inhumanely as a matter of normal circumstances. That is why I added keywords to http://www.naturalcattlehandling.com of “PETA, humane, society, inhumane” Hopefully people buying into the rhetoric of the bad press will go to the site and watch the videos

This is a much needed guide for folks. I posted the link to your blog on another forum I belong to (Mary Jane’s Farmgirl Connection). Somebody had a pretty simple question on there and you’d think that in a group of over 3000 farm gal members someone could come up with a simple answer? Nope! You are doing a great thing here.
Thanks for all your resources. I am a management accountant, also doing client consulting for the North Coast Small Business Development Center (SBA funding). The clients receive this service free of charge, usually 10-20 hours of my time. Recent client assignments include small farms in the area. I am in the process of assessing clients’ older QuickBooks files for correct usage and errors. Your pages and downloads are fantastic. I don’t really have enough hours allocated to actually carry out any of your suggestions, but will certainly pass on the link to your blog. Thanks!
