These reports summarize the individual farm records of farms in Minnesota that are enrolled in Farm Management Education programs. The current financial status of farm operators and net returns from each crop enterprise is reported. In addition to the average of all farms, the averages for the high and low net income groups are also presented.
The tables in some of these reports were created using FINPACK and RankEm Central copyrighted software of the Center for Farm Financial Management, University of Minnesota.
