The MANAGE Program

MANAGE was designed specifically to help Tennessee farm families evaluate their individual situation and assist them in improving their quality of life. Individualized farm and financial planning assistance is a major component of the program. In addition, farm families can also obtain information on computer applications to agriculture, computer record keeping, marketing, lease and rental arrangements, production records, new enterprises, and much more. Workshops and other educational programs are also offered to help farm families improve marketing, record keeping, strategic planning, and enterprise budgeting skills.
