Abstract

Teaching producers farm record keeping has always been difficult. Producers view it as a mysterious, impossible task. As part of an educational program designed for United States Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency (FSA) borrowers, teaching innovations were needed to remove the mystery and make record keeping understandable. The innovations used include: realistic receipts, a proven farm record book, use of dual overhead projectors to simultaneously display receipts and book pages when entering transactions, ample consideration of participant suggestions about entering transactions, no mention of "correct entries," and an honest attempt to establish producer ownership of their record book information.
