What Farm Biz is

Farm Biz is farm accounting software for cash crop and livestock businesses, offered by Specialized Data Systems for farm and ranch families, financial institutions, and businesses. Founded in 1976, the company provides desktop software for macOS and Windows. Farm Biz is an entry-level accounting program that requires no setup and includes reports for cash flow, budget forecasts, vendor activity, enterprise analysis, purchase and sales analysis, net worth, and Schedule F. It also has backup and restore to removable media and a Save and Verify feature. Ultra Farm adds multiple-year records, inventory, billing and invoicing, payroll, check writing, and enterprise analysis. My Field Crop supports unlimited fields and crops, multiple crops per field, field-level soil test history, and maps from Google Earth imagery, FSA images, or scans. Farm Biz checkbook data can be exported to Microsoft Excel, while Ultra Farm also exports to Excel and Fin Pack. Programs and data are installed locally; the maker says the software does not use the internet while operating. Farm Biz costs $274, paid once, My Field Crop $320, paid once, and Ultra Farm $575, paid once, with shipping included.
