Reflecting on the past two years and looking ahead towards the future. Every decision we make at Good Agriculture is centered around our farmers. Our mission is plain and simple: we’re here to make sure you succeed.
Happy Birthday to Us!
The past two years have been a wild ride… The median farmer who used our financial management service had a 2 percentage point increase in profit margins. Our grants team has won nearly $1 million in funding for our farmers. Every farmer who’s worked with us is still in business and we’re still helping them manage their companies so they can manage their farms.
When you win, we win. That’s why everything we do is aimed at helping you thrive in what you do best—farming.
Why We Do It
Our recent milestones really hit home for us.
First, we finally figured out how to measure across our farmers and realized that our customers are 6% more profitable than they were before they started working with us.
And second, we won two major grants that brought our total won to date to just shy of $1 million ($980,000, to be exact).
We can do that because we are farmers – and those of us who aren’t farmers, we make sure they get some dirt based hazing every so often. You can’t serve farmers without knowing what it’s like to have dirt embedded into your fingerprints.
Partnering for Success with Harvest Returns
Just a few months back in March, we teamed up with Harvest Returns, a leader in agricultural investing. Partnering with Harvest Returns was a natural step forward in our mission to empower farmers and ranchers across the country.
Harvest Returns brought a wealth of expertise and resources in agricultural investing, specializing in connecting investors with sustainable farm operations. Their platform facilitates access to crucial capital that many farmers need to expand and thrive.
UGA Partnership and Beyond
Then in April we joined forces with the University of Georgia’s (UGA) Value-Addition Institute for Business Expansion (VIBE).
UGA was granted a $1.5 million grant from the USDA, to grow Georgia’s rural food businesses. We’ll be working to help them on personalized support to hands-on workshops, and we’re paving the way for new opportunities for those farmers to get support.
Launched the Funding Notification Service
In May we launched our new Funding Notification Service (FNS). We tailor emails so you will only receive local, regional and national funding opportunities that are relevant your farm. We want to offer it to you FREE for 30 days, you can sign up here, or fill out the form below. (Yes, our marketing team made us add this in here.)
Our FNS is designed with one goal in mind: to simplify the process of finding funding opportunities for farmers. We handle the legwork of researching and compiling information, allowing you to make informed decisions without the stress of constant research.
When you have a grant and project in mind, reach out to us. We need you to know what you want to do, but once you have a project and grant in mind we’re happy to help you turn it into a winning application.
Coming Up – What if Data Collection Were Easy?
Imagine telling your phone “We just harvested 495 lbs of radishes from Row 19, Field B” and being able to see that these are French Breakfast Radishes planted 42 days ago with seed from Johnny’s; the field was amended with 7% potash prior to planting; it rained twice totaling 1 inch and irrigation ran another three times; this field was cultivated twice while the radishes were in the ground; this is a 17% reduction in yield from what was projected.
Your farm data, easily collected and curated so all you have to do is narrate your actions and observations. We’re going to be building out version one of this tool over the next 8 months.
ATTN Georgia Farmers: If you’re growing lettuce within a 2-hour drive of Atlanta this fall, reach out – we’re recruiting 10 farmers to help us shape version one, and it’ll hopefully roll out to a wider audience in 2025!
