Abstract

An Ohio management education program for farmers incorporates time management techniques into its curriculum. Content is drawn from Stephen Covey's "First Things First" and "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". Participants utilize Covey's model to determine the importance and urgency of activities and tasks. Participants categorize a number of typical farm activities as to their importance and urgency. Time management strategies complement the teaching of the five functions of management.
