How To Locate and Adjust the AgriStability Worksheet 

What you need to know: 

AgriStability is a business risk management program designed to support farm operations experiencing significant margin declines due to production losses, increased expenses, or changing market conditions. Coverage is customized for each farm based on historical financial information from income tax returns and supplemental program data. 

AgExpert Accounting can help simplify AgriStability reporting by tracking inventory information and providing the supplemental data needed to complete your reports. For accurate results, ensure that all financial and inventory information has been entered for every fiscal year in your business. 

What you need to do: 

• Gather your livestock, crop, purchased input, deferred income and receivables, and accounts payable information for the reporting year. 

• Confirm that all inventory transactions have the correct grade, inventory transaction type, acres, and other required details. 

• Review your chart of accounts to ensure allowable income and expense accounts have the correct T1163/T1273 line numbers assigned. 

• Identify any ungraded or incomplete transactions which need to be updated before generating the AgriStability report. 

• Gather expected payment dates for deferred sales, including perishable crop sales, if applicable. 

• Check your inventory report to ensure all inventory adjustments have been completed.  

• Note: It is very difficult to correct grades in the AgriStability reports if quantities have not been adjusted first.
