FrequentlyAsked Questions
What is an agricultural accountant?
Agricultural accountants manage the financial side of farm operations. They handle budgeting, bookkeeping, compliance, and financial analysis to help farm owners make informed business decisions and stay compliant with tax and reporting regulations.
What is agri-accounting?
Agri-accounting is a specialized area of accounting that focuses on the production, processing, and retail sides of agriculture. It combines principles from business, economics, and accountancy tailored to the ag industry.

Most farmers use cash basis accounting, which records income and expenses when cash changes hands. It’s simple and widely accepted for reporting taxable farm income.
What is accrual accounting in agriculture?
Accrual accounting recognizes income when it's earned and expenses when they’re incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged. It’s useful in agriculture for tracking value generated by events like planting or calving seasons—even if no money has yet changed hands.
