About
Welcome to the FAPRI Beginning Farmer and Rancher online Farm Cost and Return Tool (CART) page. This tool, developed as part of the beginning farmer and rancher project, was created to assist beginning farmers and ranchers. It can be used by those who are either thinking about farming or are actively engaged in a farming operation. The tool includes data from the FAPRI baseline and the USDA. It includes a specified set of commodities (see below), historical production and costs, and five years of projected production and costs estimates. The user can select the commodities on the farm, enter the number of acres farmed for each crop selected and number of head of livestock, and edit yields, prices and costs. Once the farm is constructed and the data entered, a five-year estimate of costs and returns are available to the user. This allows the user to estimate the profitability of different farming operations online.

About
The Keeper's Ledger is a cloud-based farm management application for direct-market farms that sell livestock, produce, flowers, or mixed-farm products. It connects livestock records—including groups, tags, weights, treatment withdrawal dates, processor bookings and cut sheets—with returned package inventory, freezer locations, catch-weight sales, customer orders and invoices. Garden and pasture tools track beds, plantings, harvests and paddock activity. Enterprise costing combines expenses such as feed, seed, labor and processor invoices to help farms review costs and margins. The built-in shop supports packages, animal shares and weekly boxes using available stock. The service also provides exports for Wave and QuickBooks, and supports offline field entry that syncs when connectivity returns. It is intended for commercial farms that market what they raise or grow, rather than commodity grain or hobby recordkeeping.
