WIRE (Western Integrated Resource Education) teaches a concept of management which
provides practical tools for integrating management of the physical, biological, financial and
human resources of agricultural operations. WIRE emphasizes the process of management--
setting goals, priorities, making decisions, planning, budgeting, keeping records and performing
evaluations with personal goals and optimization in mind, rather than particular production technologies.
The process begins by setting goals, which provides the manager with a clear focus on what he/she
wants to accomplish through the operation and a view of how it can be done.
