Compiled and augmented by Miguel Saviroff

The inspiration for this glossary started with a farmer and an agricultural consultant.

Born and raised thousands of miles apart in Latin America, the path of life crossed the pair at a farm financial workshop in New York State. The farmer was an expert apple producer, but needed to grow his financial management skills. The consultant was an expert in farm finances, who sought a student to mentor.

Sometimes when life crosses paths, amazing things happen. And here you are looking at one of those moments.

This glossary, created in collaboration by the farmer and the consultant, holds all of the terminology necessary to gain ginancial literacy and run a successful farm business. Put it in your pocket when you negotiate a loan, or keep it on your desk while you balance your checkbook. No matter where you keep it, know that it will help you keep your business growing.

With much gratitude,
