Across the nation, farmers and elevators work in trusted relationships centered around a fluctuating marketplace. This is why as a farmer, it’s important to know the current market price of your product in order to make knowledgeable decisions that drive the productivity of your farm. Figured integrates with DTN (Data Transmission Network) to help farmers stay informed and relevant. With direct access to current commodity insights, farmers can set their crop’s market price to the state and elevator of their choice! 

At Figured, we’ve been working alongside arable farmers and their advisers for some time now, and in that time we’ve seen the same challenging processes year after year. Recognising this, we set about building a new cropping experience that would allow the whole farming team to collaborate and contribute to both Figured and Xero, and tie all the information together in one easy to understand tool.

Model out the long term financial impact of major decisions or changes in your business with Figured Scenarios.  

Figured empowers farmers to run their farm like a business all while building their resilience  to frequent commodity fluctuations.

When you use Figured for your planning, you’ll have your client’s live accounting data hooked directly into the same place that their Annual Plan lives. This creates a single source of truth for all management reports and plans, so that any time you look at a report in Figured you’ll know that this is the current plan that they’re working to.

Farming is a major industry in the United States that contributes over $136B to the GDP, making it vital that farmers are empowered to run financially sustainable businesses. The right set of tools and advisory team can help ensure farmers understand their breakevens to make marketing decisions with confidence and take care of their budgeting, forecasting and production and livestock tracking in order to achieve their financial targets and ultimately, their goals. 

Rather than join the chorus of looking back at 2020 I have tried to tackle a few ways that you can move forward with Figured & Xero during the Silly Season. With Figured near-24 hour support, always feels safe in the fact that you can't get too silly and stuck in the tool!
