Cashlfow management is important every year. However it is more important in 2022 as we have seen large increases in all input costs especially feed and fertilizer. While milk price is very good at present it is still important to take stock of where you are from a cash perspective and forward project for the rest of the year to see what your cash position will be in light of all the changes in input costs and increased milk price.

The first step is to establish where your cash position is today.

To do this Teagasc have compiled a 5 minute cash flow worksheet which allows you take a snap shot of the cash position on your farm.
