Working capital is the financial cushion you have to cover near-term bills — your short-term assets minus your short-term debts.
Working capital is current assets minus current liabilities, measuring an operation's short-term liquidity.
Adequate working capital helps a farm weather low prices, late payments, or a bad season without scrambling for cash.
Cash and crops ready to sell minus the bills due this year gives a rough working capital figure.
