Farming for a profit today and planning for the more distant future may sometimes produce conflicting business decisions
Why? How should these conflicts be resolved?
What will be an ideal response?
Business decisions sometimes must be made for short-term purposes; making mortgage payments and "paying the
bills" require money in the form of profits. Maximizing short-term profits seldom results in ideal conservation
efforts. There is no simple answer to the last part of this question—it requires value judgments. The farmer
whose choice is between feeding the family and minimizing erosion is in a predicament. Farming for the future is
important. This approach will have the greater impact in the long run, but the present is important, too.
