About AgWare, Inc.

Our Mission: To develop and maintain an efficient, easy to use, and flexible tool for processing rural appraisals.

In 1986, several Accredited Rural Appraisers (ARAs) began developing a standard (form) appraisal report that would capture the appraisal methodology taught by the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA).  After several years of extensive testing, the Uniform Agricultural Appraisal Report (UAAR^®) was developed.  The UAAR^® consists of rural appraisal forms, worksheets, and supplemental pages for describing and analyzing data for rural properties.

The development of the UAAR^® is important in standardizing rural appraisal and review reports.  Initially, the format was designed to meet the Farmer Mac reporting standards, but it was quickly adapted to address the requirements of the profession, including the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).  The UAAR^® follows the course work of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) and Appraising Rural Properties, a rural valuation textbook (a joint venture with the ASFMRA and the Appraisal Institute).

AgWare, Inc. was established in 1990 and is the owner of the Federally Registered Trademark "UAAR^®" and the copyrighted UAAR^® Forms, and the Standard Appraisal Review Report (SARR^TM).
