Who farms your county?

Every county knows its acreage. Far fewer know how that acreage is split between the operations that hold most of it and the ones that make up most of the count. Pick a county and see both at once.

What the census does not tell us

These numbers are from the 2022 Census of Agriculture and the 2026 tax roll. They are accurate and they are not current, and neither one knows what a producer in your county is actually deciding this season. Four questions.

What is actually grown or raised here that these numbers miss?

Leased ground, specialty acreage, anything the census undercounts or folds into a category that hides it.

How big is a small producer in your county?

Not the average. The size of a working operation that is small for your county.

acres.

What do producers come to your office for?

Select any that happen more than once a year.

Who should we send your county profile to?

We build one county at a time and we would rather build the ones people asked for.

We will run your county while you stand there

BusinessFlare® builds producer decision models calibrated to Florida: what a real operation in your county earns in a good year, what it loses in a bad one, and how often each happens. Not a state average applied to your soil.

The first one is built. Hendry County beef cattle, three production systems, a thousand simulated years each. Bring your county and your crop.
