17 1. Know YOUR costs and financial position - You can t manage what you don t know. - Your costs are not the same as anyone else's. - Don t wait for your lender to get nervous. - Make changes while you still have the choice. How to Reduce Costs 2. Hold YOURSELF accountable - Make financial management as important as crop management and marketing - Don t wait until year-end to do your book work - Evaluate your business more than once per year - The end of the year is too late to make changes - If you can t do it, hire someone who can - You still have to do your part How to Reduce Costs 17

18 3. Communicate - The whole team (family) needs to understand why you are making changes - Work with your agronomist to come up with solutions that could cut costs without hurting yield too much - Share your cost projections with your marketing advisor - Keep open communication with your lender - Think about non-financial impacts How to Reduce Costs 4. Think Bottom Line - Don t manage for the highest gross income - Is $62 per acre in fertilizer returning enough to cover the cost? - Better be returning over 6 bushels per acre. - $62 cost divided by $10.00 per bushel price = 6.2 bushels per acre to breakeven How to Reduce Costs 18
