A balance sheet is a “snapshot” of the financial health of your farm business at a single point in time.  It lists what you own (assets) and what you owe (liabilities) with the difference between them indicating how much the farm business is worth (owner equity/net worth).   

This document is an Excel based balance sheet for farm businesses.  It is a fillable document with formulas to assist in calculating totals and providing a “printable” form. 

Video recordings that outline the types of information needed in each section of the balance sheet are also available:
