Importance and Uses of Farm Records

These are written statements or collection of

facts and figures on a subject for a definite
purpose. These records arise from the day-to-
day transactions made by the farmer and
should be accurate. They are used in identifying
the strong as well as the weak areas of the
farm business, in recognizing problems, and in
determining solutions to those problems. They
are used as the bases for the farmer’s key
decisions concerning farm operations.

Classification of Farm Records
Physical – it contains information on farm
productivity, like the records on crop
production, livestock production, farm
machinery and equipment. They provide data
which will later on become part of the financial
records under the account heading Inventory.
1. Crop production record – this is maintained
mainly to monitor crop production activities. It
gives the name of the crop being cultivated,
the date of planting, the allotted area, the
time to harvest and the actual volume of
production at harvest time and its worth in
pesos.

2. Livestock and poultry production
records - production record for
livestock largely differs from that of
crops. In swine for example, both
weanlings and fattening hogs are the
main products, breeding animals will
have individual records. This will allow
the farmer to keep track of the
performance of each breeder, and of
the farm as a whole in terms of
production.

possible replacement as
indicated by its depreciation

use.
