Hi! We currently use Quickbooks for our 3 small farms, turn over the data to our accountant each year for taxes.
Do you recommend any simple ag-focused program for keeping the books?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Greetings,
. Software such as PCMars, EasyFarm, and the others on this list, are more focused on agricultural operations than Quickbooks. I suggest also asking the accountant if they are familiar with any on this list, and if they have other suggestions, as they might have a preference or be able to provide some additional insights.
