The Whole Farm Planning Guide was recently removed from the U of MN Extension website to be updated. We have had several requests to keep this archive version accessible, since the overview of the whole farming planning process is still relevant and the information can't easily be found elsewhere. Be aware that many of the planning tools mentioned are no longer available or have evolved into different programs.
