What we already know…
- Doing your cost of production for
your own farm is the starting point for profitability.

sold will allow you to build an effective marketing plan.
- Each year is different! Profitability
and risk is dependent on the relationship between yield/price/costs with your financial situation. (Plan for Prosperity)

Obviously you’re telling me…
- Those who produce the most, profit the
most.
- The more accurate your own numbers,
the greater your chances are for profitability.
- It’s vital to know the risks and rewards
- f the different crops.
- Before seeding, compare crops for
profit probability.
- After seeding, update your actual costs
to keep on top of profitability
