Deer Creek Farms: Tradition into the Future
通过鹿溪农场的案例，展示一个家庭农场如何规划下一代接班，面临扩大生产、退出或多元化经营的决策，帮助农业经营者识别和管理战略风险。
Abstract The Deer Creek Farms case study illustrates a family farm operation that is trying to identify how to transition the business to include the next generation. The family is currently growing corn, soybeans, and contract hogs. The family is faced with decisions to expand production in one or more of the current enterprises, exit out of one or more of the current enterprises, or diversify into additional enterprises. Each member of the family is given the task of proposing their vision of the farm's future. The examples illustrated through the Deer Creek Farms case study will assist agricultural producers as they monitor, identify, and manage strategic risk on their farms.
