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!

As Figured continues to grow around the world, it’s important to us that our partners and customers have reassurance in our ability to keep their systems and information private and secure. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce that we are now SOC 2 Type I compliant.

We recently sat down for a chat with Lincolnshire farmer, David Dunn, to discuss how he and his family completely changed their family farm from a traditional dairy operation to a diverse farming business - now running a Stabiliser suckler herd, a B&B pig unit, a full nine-stable livery, and third party operation of an an AD plant.

We interviewed Matthew Gorton, Deputy Director of NICRE, in early November 2020 to hear about the newly formed project and what it means for rural areas. For more information see the NICRE website.
