A smallholding review before the season changes

What to know

This is an original planning worksheet built around Penn State's equipment, water and pasture guidance. It is not a calendar of treatments. Walk the property and identify which systems are vulnerable to the coming conditions.

Discuss nutrition and health planning with qualified advisers rather than carrying last year's choices forward without review. Keep cost estimates separate from actual invoices. Assign a person and date to each repair or professional question. A list with no owner will not help when the weather changes.

Make the next step clear

1. 1Walk key systems.
2. 2List likely failure points.
3. 3Ask professional questions early.
4. 4Assign and check tasks.
