"Farm management is that branch of agricultural economics which deals with the business principles and practices of farming with an object of obtaining the maximum possible return from the farm as a unit under a sound farming programme. Farm management draws on agricultural economics for information on prices, markets, agricultural policy, and economic institutions such as leasing and credit. It also draws on plant and animal sciences for information on soils, seed, and fertilizer, on control of weeds, insects, and disease, and on rations and breeding; on agricultural engineering for information on farm buildings, machinery, irrigation, crop drying, drainage, and erosion control systems; and on psychology and sociology for information on human behaviour. The process of this type of management is often associated with large commercial farms, although many of the same methods can be used with equal success on a small family-owned farm. This book delves into the advanced concepts of farm management. It deals with farm ruminants, rural development, dairy farm management and farming system. It also explores risk management strategies, milking system, multifunctional agriculture and farm diseases. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts of this field. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new devices and technologies related to farm management. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies have been included in it. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for students."
