Software
Several farm management computer programs for the IBM-PC or compatible microcomputers have been developed for Washington State University. These are stand-alone programs accompanied by written documentation explaining how to operate the program, rationale for the various calculations, and interpretation of the output. They are designed to be used by farm managers, agricultural credit providers, educators, and others to help make better management decisions.
You can download these programs and accompanying documentation below.
The Excel files are Read-only files. To download a file, click on the link and save the file to your computer hard drive or other storage device. The file will be in edit mode. If the Worksheet comes up without Worksheet tabs at the bottom, two choices are available to fix it. Windows Vista (2007): left click on View, Arrange all, Tiled, OK. If you are using Windows Excel 2003: left click on Window, Arrange, Tiled, OK and the Worksheet tabs will appear at the bottom of the worksheet.
