Description

Welcome to the online Farm Cost and Return Tool (CART) page designed for beginning farmers and ranchers as part of the FAPRI initiative. This user-friendly tool serves as a valuable resource for individuals contemplating a career in farming or those who are already operating a farm. It features comprehensive data sourced from the FAPRI baseline and the USDA, covering a curated selection of commodities (as outlined below), along with historical production data, cost information, and projections for the next five years. Users can choose which commodities to grow, indicate the acreage dedicated to each crop, specify the number of livestock they own, and adjust yields, prices, and costs as needed. After constructing their farm profile and entering the relevant information, users receive a five-year forecast of costs and returns, which facilitates the assessment of potential profitability for various farming ventures. This tool is essential for making informed decisions in the agricultural sector.

Description

The Keeper's Ledger is a cloud-based application designed for managing farms that sell a variety of products, including livestock, produce, and flowers. This innovative tool integrates livestock management features—like groups, tags, weights, treatment withdrawal schedules, processor bookings, and cut sheets—with details on returned package inventory, freezer locations, catch-weight sales, customer orders, and invoices. It also offers garden and pasture management tools that monitor beds, plantings, harvests, and paddock activities. Additionally, the application includes enterprise costing capabilities that aggregate expenses such as feed, seed, labor, and processor invoices, assisting farms in analyzing their costs and profit margins. The integrated shop functionality allows for the management of packages, animal shares, and weekly produce boxes based on stock availability. Furthermore, the application supports exports to accounting software like Wave and QuickBooks, and offers offline data entry that syncs once internet access is restored. Ultimately, this application is tailored for commercial farms that focus on marketing their own products rather than dealing with commodity grain or engaging in hobby-level recordkeeping, making it a valuable asset for direct-market agricultural operations.
