Knowing the peculiarities of agricultural capital and production processes will allow the student to learn how to adapt the classic scheme of the reclassified economic balance sheet to the production reality of farms. In particular, the student will have to understand how the balance sheet must be adapted to the peculiarities of agricultural capital, as well as the financial sources used by farms to acquire their means of production. The same applies to the income statement, whose classic calculation schemes must be adapted to the particularities of revenues, production costs and, therefore, income generated in agriculture. Finally, the student will have to learn how to adapt the most important profitability indicators to the peculiarities of agricultural enterprises: this applies to ROI and ROE, i.e. the indices that evaluate the profitability of invested capital, and it applies to the indices that evaluate the profitability of the work performed by the farmer and his family. Understanding these elements will allow the future agronomist to develop an autonomy of judgment on the management and investment choices of the fa, which he will berm able to communicate to the agricultural entrepreneur to help him maximize income. Furthermore, this set of knowledge will be the basis on which the agronomist can continue to learn basic elements for planning investments and business development.
