5 H Texas Agricultural Extension Service vm The Texas A&M University System MEMO TO. Users of the 1996 Crop and Livestock Budgets for South Texas FROM: foferritt J. Taylor, Extension Economist-Management Enrique Alonzo Jr., Student Assistant SUBJECT: Use of These Budgets Attached are the Texas Crop and Livestock Enterprise Budgets for They were developed through cooperation of many producers throughout the TAEX district 12 of South Texas and Merritt J. Taylor at the Department of Agricultural Economics at Texas A&M University. They are a composite of several producers' activities and production costs so many not reflect your individual practices or costs of production. They are averages and should be used as a guide only. The budgets were organized using the Lotus 123 Spreadsheet Software with fixed costs estimated using the MBMS Budget Generator. The templates can be obtained for your use and personalization by sending formatted diskettes to me. l3_i_itkm As with any new technique and with all works of this size errors may have gotten by me in the reviewing process. If you find any error whether it be in cultural practice, logic, costs, prices or calculations--i would greatly appreciate you calling me so that I can make the correction. Since I am using spreadsheet templates the future editions should have less errors. If you would like to be an annual reviewer of these budgets and thus enable the output to more readily reflect real costs, yields, revenues and practices please cut out the form below and return to Merritt J. Taylor, 2401 East Highway 83, Weslaco, TX Telephone (210) I agree to be a contributing member of the South Texas Crop and Livestock Budget reviewers group.
