Benchmarking Your Farming Operation

The Illinois Farm Business Farm Management (FBFM) Association provides comprehensive farm and financial management analysis for operating farmers. Producers receive various computerized production and financial analysis reports about their operation. They also receive a comparative analysis report that compares their farming operation with others that are similar in size, soil productivity, and type of farm. Trend reports also are available that display long-term trends in the farm business.

At our Agronomy Day display, we will feature examples of various reports, along with the latest informa tion compiled from the farm record data. We’ll also demonstrate examples of computer software programs available through FBFM.
