Jonie,
Got the Kansas Farm Account Book in the mail the other day and
looked at it in detail this morning. This is GREAT! It’s given me
lots of ideas on how I can do the accounting better for my boss
and mother on our accounting software (and Quicken), and
using excel spreadsheets. I knew I didn’t have to “re-invent the
wheel!” It’s wonderful to have good resources available (or
know where to go or ask)!!!
Thank you for the kindness extended in sending the book, and
for leading a great Annie’s Project. I have been “singing the
praises” for this workshop and hope you’ll be able to continue
to offer this fine program!
