1 Step Up Your Grain Game! Crop Economics for Roy Arnott, P.Ag. & Darren Bond, P.Ag. Farm Management Specialists

2 What we already know Doing your cost of production for your own farm is the starting point for profitability. Determining your cost per bushel 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)

14 Price vs Cost Fertilizer Pricing Price How much money do I need to hand you to buy my fertilizer. Cost What did I have to give up to get this price. Expense vs. Investment: Investment provides a return over what you ve paid, an expense will not. Questions: Is it really cheaper for you to buy in the fall (cost of money, bins etc.) than in the spring? Is it really cheaper to buy from the new dealer 20 miles down the road for $5 per tonne less?

46 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 of the different crops. Before seeding, compare crops for profit probability. After seeding, update your actual costs to keep on top of profitability
