There are many aspects to farm planning:
-What have you got now? eg.climate, rainfall, soil, topography, on-farm assets.
-Where do you want to end up? Are those goals possible within the above parameters?
-How much time & money can you dedicate to achieving your goal?
-What is your time frame?
These are things that need to be considered before undertaking any major actions.
