Bookkeeping with Christine Thompson

“The Farmer Network Takes the Bind out of Bookkeeping”
For generations the traditional role of the farmers wife was to keep house, raise a family,
work on the farm and “do the books”, and all of this on the same day! In the modern
farming era, things may be very different, but there are still many farmers including
husbands and wives, that do a full day’s work then sit down at night to catch up with what is
commonly known as “paperwork”.
The breath-taking array of administrative tasks in the modern farm business requires
knowledge, skill and attention to detail in an industry where the slip of a pen can lead to
financial penalty.
In order to help farmers improve their administration skills, save time and become more
productive, The Farmer Network is to hold a Farmer’s Bookkeeping Course at North
Ribblesdale Rugby Club on Thursday 28 th November 2024 at 7pm.
Funded by The Yorkshire Dales Farming in Protected Landscapes Fund, the evening will be
led by Christine Thompson of Agricultural Business Training (ABT). Farmers will be updated
on a variety of farm-office based topics to sharpen their existing skills and processes in
dealing with the farm business and keeping essential farm records. Practical working
examples will be included during the event.
Carol Moffat of the Farmer Network and a working farmer says, “It is hard for many of us to
have to sit down in the evening and start on the books. We hope this event will help farmers
with useful information and some techniques that will save time, improve productivity and
perhaps avoid the costly mistakes which we all make occasionally”.
Supper will be provided, and places must be booked by 12 noon on Tuesday 26 th November.
