With each article in the “Farm KPIs” series, we dive deeper into a specific metric (crops, livestock, financial, etc.) by defining what it is, why it’s important, how to track it, and how to put the data into practical use. This article specifically looks at those built for crop growers; our next in the series will focus on livestock-applicable reports.

Learn the essential reports livestock farmers need to monitor herd health, improve productivity, and protect farm profitability, especially for small operations, and all found within Farmbrite.

When you walk your fields or check on your livestock, the health of your farm is often measured in what you see: lush crops, well-fed animals, or barns filled with the season’s harvest. But beneath the surface of every farm’s daily operations lies another measure of health—one that isn’t always as visible but is just as important: your profit margins.

Running a farm takes more than planting seeds and tending animals; it also requires keeping a close eye on the numbers. For many farmers, one of the most useful financial tools is the Profit and Loss (P&L) statement, also called an income statement.

You can track KPIs on just about any number in a business, including the business of market gardens! In this article, we've listed a few metrics that will help boost your market garden's profitability and help your business grow.
