PART XII: FARM RECORD KEEPING<br />
In collect<strong>in</strong>g data through record keep<strong>in</strong>g, request farmer cooperators to record their farm<br />
activities and transactions for a year. Daily record is ideal but experience shows that<br />
weekly recall and record<strong>in</strong>g has been found to be satisfactory and more accurate.<br />
Information can be obta<strong>in</strong>ed through this method but there is a need to supervise the<br />
farmer cooperator and direct what is to be done on the record<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>in</strong>formation. This<br />
makes a regular visit to the farmer-cooperator necessary.<br />
A. Data to be Recorded/Collected<br />
The farmer cooperator has to keep records and accounts. Farm records and accounts are<br />
written statements or collections of facts and figures on a subject for a def<strong>in</strong>ite purpose.<br />
The data to be <strong>in</strong>cluded and the sequenc<strong>in</strong>g of the data or <strong>in</strong>formation depend on your<br />
purpose. They may <strong>in</strong>clude data on money, dates and events, or quantities of farm<br />
produce. Examples of these records are <strong>in</strong>ventory record, farm sales, farm expenses, feed<br />
record, etc. Farm accounts, on the other hand, are written f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements. Examples<br />
are fertilizers account, feed account, <strong>in</strong>secticide account, etc. Money values are <strong>in</strong>cluded<br />
<strong>in</strong> these accounts from purchase records, fertilizer records, and <strong>in</strong>secticide records.<br />
The form of record keep<strong>in</strong>g that can be asked of the farmer-cooperators depends on the<br />
farmers present skills and knowledge on record keep<strong>in</strong>g. While records could be written<br />
on walls, posts, calendars, and pocket notebooks, it is preferable to let the cooperator do a<br />
s<strong>in</strong>gle entry form, which is an improvement over the common practices that has been<br />
mentioned. The cooperator may be taught how to do the record<strong>in</strong>g. The follow<strong>in</strong>g are<br />
