KFMA Newsletters
While the agriculture sector continues in a period of tight margins and cash flow constraints, the average net farm
income for KFMA member farms increased to $62,944 in 2017. There is much variability from farm to farm within the
data – differences in production (record yields for some, drought for others), differences in financial position and cost
structure, differences in decision making and management of risk. For summary reports of the KFMA data, please visit
www.agmanager.info/KFMA.
As we do each year, six KFMA economists and myself participated in a roundtable discussion of the new reports for the
May 10 edition of the “Agriculture Today” radio program, produced by K‐State Research and Extension. That discussion
is available online at http://agtodayksu.libsyn.com/report‐2017‐kansas‐net‐farm‐income‐agriculture‐today‐may‐10‐
2018. A follow up interview was completed and will air the final week of June. All Agricultural Economic related radio
show recordings are available at http://www.agmanager.info/news#ksrn‐radio‐interviews .
Keeping accurate records, and benchmarking with those records to identify strengths and weaknesses, will help you
focus your management efforts. Your records can help you identify and manage production costs, provide a starting
point for market planning, and give you the opportunity to understand your farm business better than anyone else. Your
investment of time into this process is important as you seek to manage the current environment successfully.
