I’ll close this book the same way I opened it by saying that success really depends on you. That isn’t a cop-out; it’s the truth. When you begin your small-farm venture, you are your own boss. You may be reluctant to seek someone else’s counsel about what to do and how to become profitable. Everything I included in this book I have learned from experience. As you read the profiles of our colleagues in small agriculture businesses, you probably noticed that their comments were based on experience as well.
You’ll learn through your own experience which ideas in this book work for your operation. Seek your personal path to success. With the help of good planning, strong instincts, and solid ideas that create cash flow, you’ll live your dream — I know it.
