We take care of the books so you can focus on the farm. Starting at $75 a month.
Basics is for farmers who don’t want to spend evenings sorting receipts or wondering if things are categorized correctly. If you don’t need monthly bookkeeping, we have weekly, quarterly and annual support options available for your operation.
You’ll know where your farm stands without guessing, and you’ll have someone who understands agriculture handling the details behind the scenes. Good Agriculture provides bookkeeping services made for farmers and agribusinesses.
We work from clean, separated business accounts. If books are behind or accounts are mixed, we start with a one-time cleanup before monthly service begins.
What You Do
You review once a month
Answer quick questions on any unfamiliar transactions (about 5–10 minutes)
We build rules so questions decrease over time
You review reports
Send us Documentation like Bank and Loan Statements at year end (and occasionally during the year if we’re worried about any errors)
Keep your business and personal transactions separate (occasional mistakes are fine!)
We can help you separate this out, but we have to charge a little bit more to do so

Why Farmers Choose Us
We already understand farm expenses, seasonal income cycles, and how transactions show up on Schedule F. That means less explaining for you and fewer mistakes. Farmers come to us because they’re too busy running the farm, bookkeeping keeps getting pushed back, they want things ready for taxes, and they don’t want to train a bookkeeper on farming. Most are just ready for this to be handled.

Working Together
We learn about your farm, get things organized, and move into a simple monthly rhythm. You’ll always know what we’re working on, what we need from you, and what’s coming next.
1. Cleanup (If needed):
For those with a backlog or a box of receipts to sort before starting fresh.
2. Onboarding:
Connecting feeds and setting up the chart of accounts.
3. Monthly:
Ongoing bookkeeping and reporting.
Onboarding
Step 1: Documents + Meeting
We set up a secure folder for receipts and statements, send a short questionnaire about your farm, and schedule a kickoff call.
Step 2: Cleanup + Setup
We clean up books, build your chart of accounts, and set up reports, so you can see the numbers that matter.
Step 3: Monthly Bookkeeping
We handle reconciliations and only check in when needed.
Choose a Cadence
We send a short transaction review email. Once you confirm, we send your profit & loss, balance sheet, and simple cash-on-hand reports. This tier does not include monthly meetings. If you’d like to have a standing meeting with the team, consider joining Essentials or Premium.
Basics Farmer Spotlight
Farm & Garden Landscapes Armen Caravantes
“Good Agriculture is amazing. I couldn’t ask for anything else on managing my finances. They made everything super accessible and easy.”
We’ll ask for access to your bank and credit card accounts (or monthly statements), last year’s tax return if you have it, and any bookkeeping file you’ve been using. We’ll also send a short questionnaire about your farm and schedule a kickoff call. From there, we clean things up, build your chart of accounts, and get your reports set up.
Basics includes monthly bookkeeping for your farm: categorizing transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and sending simple reports, so you can see where things stand. You’ll receive a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and a quick monthly review email. This tier is designed for straightforward farm operations that need clean books and clear reports without ongoing meetings.
No. Basics does not include monthly meetings. We keep things simple with email check-ins and reports. If you’d like regular calls, walkthroughs, or planning support, Essentials or Premium may be a better fit.
Yes. We’ll start with a one-time cleanup/onboarding to get you caught up before monthly bookkeeping begins. If you’re several months or years behind, we’ll start with a one-time cleanup and review your books before moving into monthly bookkeeping.
