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 printed worksheets and Excel® spreadsheets. We encourage you to use the worksheets annually.
