Case Study: BKR Farms achieves complete financial visibility and faster lender reporting with Conservis

BKR Farms - Customer Case Study

BKR Farms, led by fifth‑generation farmer Ryan Christensen, grows potatoes, wheat, feed barley and oats and was struggling to get complete financial visibility, measure return on investment, and maintain control over operations. Frustrated by having to pull data from multiple spreadsheets, banks and legacy systems, Ryan turned to Conservis farm management software — including its Planning & Budgets and the Conservis–Rabo AgriFinance lending integration — to unify field, operational and financial data.

Conservis consolidated BKR Farms’ records, linked real‑time field data (including grain cart scales) to financials and to Rabo AgriFinance, turning a three‑to‑four‑day loan-pack assembly process into a few clicks and producing a 93‑page renewal packet that satisfied the lender. The system also enabled rapid, verifiable crop‑insurance claims after hail—resulting in a payout received within two weeks and totaling more than BKR had collected in the prior 10–15 years—improved per‑acre ROI visibility, faster decision making through scenario comparisons, and measurable input reductions that boosted profitability. Conservis also provided data ownership and security, letting BKR Farms control its information while improving operational agility.
