The Agriculture Financial Advisor (AgFA©) program has been designed to assist in the collection, analysis, and storage of financial data and certain farm profile information for all types of farms.
AgFA© allows for the use of profile data to create specific farm type benchmarks and provide information to assist farm managers in decision-making for improved profits and lifestyles.
AgFA© produces the following reports: Farm Earnings, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and a Financial Analysis report which includes the rate of Return on Assets on both cost and fair market value basis. The program's reports include several accuracy checks and a labor analysis. AgFA© also has the capability of performing a variety of statistical analysis for research purposes.
ATTENTION AgFA© SUBSCRIBERS:
Milk
Price Information
To incorporate the current (2009)
milk price information into your conputer's AgFA© data, you must
'SYNCH' the data with the UW server. IF you ran a report(s) on a farm
prior to synchronizing, you must make a modification in that farm's
data to obtain correct reports generated on a per Product Unit basis.
(Even an entry of the number "1" in the "Dataset Description"
and deleting it will cause the program to recalculate the per Product
Unit reports.) Questions regarding this update should be directed
to Jenny Vanderlin at (608) 263-7795.
