However, developing suitable spreadsheets can be a time-consuming, costly and complex process. Spreadsheets for Agriculture is a compilation of excellent pre-prepared spreadsheets which have been developed and used successfully in a wide-range of agricultural applications. They have been devised by a number of experts who have developed them in practical 'real-life'situations. There are 25 spreadsheets in this new book covering activities such as crop cash forecasts, seed growing, investment appraisal, irrigation systems investment and scheduling, labour profiling, machine performance and livestock breeding and feeding — all of which will enable anyone with a spreadsheet programme to use ready made systems quickly and easily.
