TTAP Mission Statement
TTAP is a management development program to train targeted agricultural producers the business skills necessary for them to develop successful businesses that will survive and prosper in the current and future economic environments. Targeted agricultural producers include those that plan to take over existing operations, those that are developing new operations and those seeking funding for existing or start-up operations.

TTAP Objectives
At the completion of the program, the operation will have a completed business plan on their (proposed) operation.
Throughout the program, the participants will be taught the skills necessary to implement the successful business plan.
Each operation will be assigned a 3 member mentor committee to advise the operation for twelve months after the program is completed.

Business Plan Development
Business plans have largely been ignored by the production agriculture industry, but should be an all-encompassing risk management tool.
A Case Study (TTAP Enterprises) was created and a business plan was written for the program.
Serves as a reference for each participant.
CD includes all necessary computer files.
