As I write this, there are piles of grain on the ground in many areas of the state, market prices for grain below the cost of
production, uncertainty in the tax laws as we plan for the end of the year, reduced working capital and eroding debt
repayment capacity for many farms... all part of the current agriculture management environment. These are also
reminders to each of us of the importance of careful planning and consideration as management decisions are made.
Those of us working within the KFMA program and in the Agricultural Economics Department greatly appreciate the
efforts of those working on the farms and ranches of Kansas. We are thankful for the opportunity to provide farm
management information to farm decision makers through this newsletter and through delivery of the KFMA Program.
The KFMA motto is “Building Strong Relationships…Producing Excellence” and we desire to use this newsletter as a way
of building our relationship with you and to provide you with information that helps you achieve excellence. The KFMA
E‐Newsletter is sent quarterly throughout the year. This issue provides information on farm profitability, measuring
financial health, and the importance of understanding your farm’s current financial position and debt repayment ability.
Finally, we provide you with some guidance toward year‐end tax planning and management.
Further information can be found on the extension agricultural economics website at www.agmanager.info and the
KFMA website at www.agmanager.info/kfma. I would welcome any comments that you feel will be helpful for the KFMA
program to excel in our work with the farm families of Kansas as we seek to help you know your numbers, use your
numbers, and reach your goals. Till next time…

Although it is easy to assume farms with the lower level of crop machinery investment will be more profitable than
farms with a higher investment per acre, this simply is not always the case. It depends on the farmer’s ability to manage
those assets/expenses along with management of their other resources. One farmer may be more mechanically inclined
than another; therefore, he chooses to purchase older equipment that may require more attention than newer
equipment. However, this isn’t always the case.
As shown in the chart on the following page, an increased level of machinery investment doesn’t always lead to lower
repair bills. Both Farmer A & Farmer B are in the same county and operate a similar number of acres in 2017. According
to this snapshot Farmer A is better able to control his machinery investment and the cost of operating the equipment,
including having lower machinery repairs per acre.
