Our Spreadsheets for Farmers Master Class
Make confident, profit-focused farm business decisions
The vast majority of the most successful farms we’ve worked with use spreadsheets extensively.
Spreadsheets are incredibly powerful programs but many of you have just scratched the surface with their functionality. This course is dedicated to showing you how you can incorporate high-level data analysis skills with the goal of protecting and growing your farm’s bottom line.
You’re probably here because you're interested in growing and protecting your farm’s bottom line. You’ve came to the right place.
In today’s volatile farm economy, being a great farm business manager is no longer a trait of the most successful farms. It’s a requirement of all farms. We’re here to help.
Harvest Profit is dedicated to helping producers lay the groundwork for a successful, multi-generational farming business.
Let’s introduce you to the set of spreadsheet tutorials we’ve developed to help you accomplish this.
The Tutorials
We’ve chosen to release this course via email so you will have it available “at your fingertips” and you can file it away for future reference. Each lesson of this course will be focused on a farm-based use case.
The course will have two primary components over the 24 days.
- We’re going to focus on 10 Microsoft Excel formulas and how they can be used in your farm business.
- We’re going to be building 4 powerful spreadsheet tools that will help you become a farm spreadsheet Ninja!
- Bonus content: We also introduce you to Google Sheets and a couple additional software tools.
Important note: Even though some have already begun the course, everyone who signs up will begin on Day 1. No matter what date you sign up, you’ll start at the beginning of the course. Sign up at anytime (although the sooner the better before the price goes up)!
We’ll be simply giving you the spreadsheets we build for you to do whatever you want with them.
Our advisors told me to price the course at $149 with the reasoning being “if your users successfully implement only one of these tools it’s worth much more than that” but I didn’t listen. I want this course to be available to anyone. The limited-time discounted price is now absolutely FREE!

The course will cover farm-based applications of formulas you may be familiar with:
- Sumif
- VLookup
- Concantenate
- And more....
And some you may not be familiar with:
- Data tables
- Using data validation tools to create drop-down lists
- NORMSDIST
- And more....
In addition to spreadsheet fucntionality we’re going to show you how to implement high-level statistical analysis methods into your farm data analysis.
Thanks for a great two week course in tools in excel. Definitely refreshed some things and taught me other new features. Well worth my time and money!! Was very convenient to follow on my schedule. Thanks again!!!
There’s a general rule-of-thumb regarding the effectiveness of data analysis that can be summed up as follows, “Those that benefit the most from data analysis, are those that interact the most with the data.” What business has more data than a modern family farm?! To benefit from your data, you need to interact with it.
Applying statistical analysis to data is what professional farm businesses do on a daily basis.
Studying formulas is great, but we’re also going to build some real world tools. See below for a few of them.
Note that I’ll give you these spreadsheets so you don’t have to build from scratch!
Great work on the Excel tutorials. After 6 months, I still refer back to the videos. Thanks!
Price and Yield Probability Models
These models use implied price volatility (from the options markets) and historical yield volatility on your farm to create probabilites for future yields and prices. No model is perfect. This tool is simply meant to introduce you to how we can apply statistical thinking to farm decision making.
Variable Input Price Calculators
The example shown below is a fertilizer caculator that will show you how you can build multi-variable cost calculations easily in Excel. I bet I've used this simple fertilizer calculator 100+ times the last 12 months (yes, I'm a numbers nerd). I bet you'll find it valuable too!
Field-by-field and Total Farm Financial Tracking Tool
We'll build a comprehensive farm P&L tracking tool. Similar to the above comment, an advisor told me "Why the heck would you include this? It competes with your own software!". What a fun hater! Frankly, our software is a kick ass product and will only get better. But it isn't for everyone. This tracking tool can be used by those that aren't ready for a software package like ours. When you are, we'll be waiting for you!!
Volatile commodity markets lead to indecision and reactive farm business decisions. For a farm to succeed in today’s volatile farm economy, it needs to have a system in place to make proactive farm business decisions. This course will help you lay that groundwork or improve your current systems.
