Measuring & Analyzing Farm Financial Performance


The information and worksheets in this publication will help you measure the financial position of your business and analyze how changes may improve performance. To make it easier for you to use and reuse the worksheets discussed in this publication we have provided a link to the printed forms and a link to an ExcelŽ spreadsheet of the four worksheets.

We encourage you to use the worksheets annually. While analysis for any one year can provide you with useful insights, the trend that you uncover through annual use of the worksheets will provide you with increasingly valuable information.
