One system, entered once.
A load of feed, a field pass, an invoice. Recorded once, and right everywhere it needs to be afterwards: in the production record, in the general ledger, and on every basis you report on.
A ledger that speaks agriculture
A full general ledger built for the way agricultural businesses actually report. This is the system long-time customers know as FBS.
- Cash, accrual, market value and lower of cost/market, reported side by side
- Any number of legal entities, each with its own books, consolidated when you need the whole picture
- Payables, receivables, ACH payments and balance-sheet asset tracking
- Cost analysis that drills by crop year and production turn, not only by calendar month
Production, costed
Production records that carry cost with them, so the operational number and the financial number are the same number.
- Crop: fields, inputs, applications and harvest
- Livestock: groups, movements, mortality, rate of gain, feed conversion and close-outs
- Feed mill: rations, ingredient inventory and delivered cost
- Enterprise-level profitability across all of it
Getting data in
For each source you bring in, we work out the translation once — which of their columns means what, and how their names for things line up with yours. After that, an import is upload, check, confirm.
- Feed mill and Smart Feeder data, ingredient and ration mapping
- Packer kill sheets and carcass data
- Grain tickets from electronic scales, crop application and harvest data
- Transaction, vendor and ledger-account imports
- Equipment operation data, asset registry and depreciation schedules
Errors are caught before anything lands, explained in plain language, and every import is logged. That first setup is a one-time engagement, scoped to the sources you actually connect, and priced separately from the subscription — we would rather tell you on the first call than in the quote.
Getting answers out
Reporting drawn from the same entries that run the operation, so there is nothing to reconcile afterwards.
- Financial statements on any basis you keep
- Enterprise, field, group and close-out analysis
- User-defined reports
And for operations that want to go further with their own data: MASA maintains a continuously synchronized replica, so you can point your own tools at it — Power BI, Tableau, Claude, whatever your team works in — and have them query live data rather than a stale export. AI tools connect the same way a dashboard does. Production is untouched; queries run against the replica, never against the books themselves. Available as an add-on, running in your environment or ours.
The true cost of every acre worked
Farming is capital-intensive and most operations fly blind on it. Telemetry your machines and trucks already generate is pulled in automatically and turned into cost and performance for each operation.
- Planned versus actual area, average speed and field efficiency
- Idle hours, fuel used and fuel cost per acre
- Equipment and labor cost per acre, with variance flags
- Machine-to-machine comparison on cost per acre, cost per hour and breakeven repair cost
Covered operation by operation — strip-till, planting, burndown, pre- and post-emerge spray, harvest with combine and grain cart, and trucking. The cost lands against the field, which is where the rest of the ledger is already keeping score.
Your data, and it stays open
The operational and financial record belongs to your operation. MASA's job is to be the trusted place it lives, and to keep it open to whatever else you want to do with it.
- Connect the tools your operation already runs
- Share what your accountant or advisor needs to see
- Work with your own data directly when that is what the question calls for
Intelligence starts with trusted data.
A question about cost only has one right answer when the entries behind it were reconciled as they were made — production against money, traceable back to the event that created it. Without that, everything above is a faster way to produce a number nobody can defend.
More than forty years of agricultural accounting has gone into that discipline. It is also where our own work starts, with producers.
