For years, the kitchen table has
been the center of planning for those
in agriculture.
Conversations of the past, pres-
ent and future surface around the
table. Today, the kitchen table may
be in the warming shed, the barn,
the seed-cleaning facility, the shop
or an available room slightly
wanner than outside.. In some cases,
a meeting room, built to accommo-
date the input and planning for'
today's agricultural enterprises, is
the designated center.
The point is, time must be set
aside to develop a plan, which can
be implemented successfully by in-
cluding individual opinions of those
involved in the operation. Individ-
ual input is critical. Without such
input, the operation eventually
could be dispersed or, at best, the
working environment deteriorates,
employee turnover goes up and hard
feelings develop.
All of these scenarios can be pre-
vented with a good session around
the kitchen table. The Dickinson
Research Extension Center is no
different. As spring nears, the cen-
ter personnel, like producers, initi-
ate summer planning. This is not a
time of rest. Cows start calving,
equipment needs servicing and seed
needs to be fetched, pushing winter

the numerous agricultural producers

for decisions is now. HOW are we
going to get through another pro-
duction year with pounds of calves
or bushels of grain to pay the bills?
Like many agricultural opera-
tions today, various production units
are not contingent on each other; in
fact, 10 to 20 miles may separate the
various units, thus the need to plan
the movement of equipment, live-
stock and the many other pieces
needed for farming and ranching..
The other day, while walking
around the shop, I ponderedhow
many wrenches, nuts, bolts, various
chains, wire, metal pieces and other
assorted hardware are needed to run
a farm or ranch. Let us just say, "A
