Ten Reasons to have a Farm Energy Business Plan

I'm an advocate for formal planning. I wouldn't say I'm good at it, or that it comes naturally - but I sure appreciate the benefits of having one. Here's a few benefits of having an energy plan:

1. Sets benchmarks to determine success
2. Gets all stakeholders on the same page
3. Connects the dots to help determine impact to enterprises & total business
4. Helps to clarify vision
5. Acts as a guide to determine budgets, timelines and milestones
6. Helps to determine when project is off-track
7. Saves time as some activities have long lead-times &/or could be done simultaneously
8. Provides flexibility as plans can change
9. Provides greater control
10. Gives peace of mind...

and so much more. Speaking of more - see www.farmenergyonline.com for more on renewable energy business planning.
