Cash flow: farm glossary
Cash flow describes money moving into and out of the farm over time. It follows when payments arrive and when money is paid, which helps show the funds available for upcoming work. Sales, purchases and their payment dates can occur at different times. Cash-flow records connect these dated movements rather than treating every sale as money already received.
A farm example
A milk sale may be recorded before its payment arrives. A feed payment made today uses money today, even if delivery was earlier. Comparing these dates shows the payment order and the money needed before the milk payment arrives.
Everyday use
HerdMobile brings dated income, expenses and payments together. These records help the farmer follow collections and payments alongside daily purchases on the phone.
