Template

Build an enterprise budget for the agricultural operation described in {enterprise} (crop or livestock) for the coming season. Work through: (1) Establish expected yield or production per unit ({unit_basis}) from the operation's history, adjusted for stated conditions — not from optimistic extension-bulletin maximums. (2) Price the output using current forward or futures-referenced prices, stating basis assumptions for the local market. (3) Itemize variable costs per unit: seed/feed, fertilizer/vet, chemicals, fuel, repairs, custom work, interest on operating capital. (4) Itemize fixed costs allocated to this enterprise: equipment depreciation, land charge (cash rent or opportunity cost of owned land — include it either way), insurance, labor including unpaid family labor at a stated wage. (5) Compute returns over variable costs and over total costs separately — an enterprise covering variable but not total cost has a short-run/long-run decision attached. (6) State breakeven price and breakeven yield, and the marketing or insurance step that most reduces the downside.
