Abstract
THIS BOOK DOES NOT BEGIN WITH LAND PLANNING, stock density, paddocks, and grazing periods. It begins with financial planning, because money is the ruler. For better or worse it is the ruler even though your holistic context goes far beyond profit. In fact, both the materialist who finds the breath of life in crisp new bills and the poet who would rather live without them might find more peace of mind and freedom of spirit by accepting the notion that money is nothing but a tool. It is certainly not fulfillment and not necessarily even wealth, broadly speaking.

Notes
- 1.
In a grazing operation, if forage production per acre is low, then increasing acreage doesn’t help. “Forage shortfall” would be the weak link. On a crop farm, production per acre may be high, but acreage may be too small to generate sufficient revenue, and “acreage too small” would be the weak link.
