3 Purpose of Enterprise Budgets To estimate projected costs, revenue, and net returns for a single enterprise to assess feasibility or profitability of current or potential enterprises To estimate projected costs, revenue, and net returns for a single enterprise to assess feasibility or profitability of current or potential enterprises How much will I make on corn and soybeans? How much will I make on corn and soybeans? Planning tool to test out new ideas and compare enterprises to identify best ones Planning tool to test out new ideas and compare enterprises to identify best ones How profitable would wheat be? How profitable would wheat be? How do snap beans compare to soybeans? How do snap beans compare to soybeans?

4 Purpose of Enterprise Budgets Estimate needs for inputs, facilities and storage, and marketing Estimate needs for inputs, facilities and storage, and marketing For your crops For your crops How much fertilizer, seed, chemicals do you order? How much fertilizer, seed, chemicals do you order? Do you need new/bigger equipment? Do you need new/bigger equipment? How much grain storage and marketing do need? How much grain storage and marketing do need? For your livestock For your livestock How much feed and bedding do you need? How much feed and bedding do you need? How much can you grow and how much buy? How much can you grow and how much buy? What about hired labor? What about hired labor?

5 Enterprise Budgets Usually “Enterprise” = a crop or livestock Usually “Enterprise” = a crop or livestock Corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa Corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa Dairy, feeder beef, cow-calf, hogs Dairy, feeder beef, cow-calf, hogs Specialty crops: sweet corn, trout, mink Specialty crops: sweet corn, trout, mink Conventional vs no-till Conventional vs no-till Grazing vs. confinement Grazing vs. confinement

6 Enterprise Budgets Use a constant base unit Use a constant base unit Crops = 1 acre Livestock = 1 head Crops = 1 acre Livestock = 1 head Allows comparison across enterprises Allows comparison across enterprises Compare wheat to corn and soybeans Compare wheat to corn and soybeans Compare farrow-to-finish to finishing only Compare farrow-to-finish to finishing only Each enterprise budget a “Lego” Each enterprise budget a “Lego” Snap “Legos” together to make your farm Snap “Legos” together to make your farm

7 Parts of Enterprise Budget Revenues – Costs = Returns Revenues – Costs = Returns No formal structure as for balance sheet or income statement No formal structure as for balance sheet or income statement Cost categories used Cost categories used Variable/Operating Costs Variable/Operating Costs Fixed/Ownership/Overhead Costs Fixed/Ownership/Overhead Costs Machinery costs Machinery costs Split into fixed and variable costs? Split into fixed and variable costs? Lump together into own category? Lump together into own category? Opportunity Costs Opportunity Costs Which ones included, which ones ignored Which ones included, which ones ignored Time line version: Planting Costs, Harvest Costs Time line version: Planting Costs, Harvest Costs

8 Examples Illustrate diversity in enterprise budgets Illustrate diversity in enterprise budgets All for Corn following Soybeans Iowa: “Crop Production Cost Budgets” Iowa: “Crop Production Cost Budgets” www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/crops/pdf/a1-20.pdf Illinois: “Crop Budgets” Illinois: “Crop Budgets” http://www.farmdoc.uiuc.edu/manage/newsletters/fefo09_06/FEFO_09_06.pdf Wisconsin: “Crop Enterprise Budget” Wisconsin: “Crop Enterprise Budget” http://www.cdp.wisc.edu/wk1/Corn%20after%20Soybeans%20Budget%20for%20Wisconsin.xls http://www.aae.wisc.edu/mitchell/Corn%20Soybeans%20Small%20Grains.xls Main point: No “right” way to do enterprise budget Main point: No “right” way to do enterprise budget

9 Enterprise Budgets and You Costs and returns to the same enterprise vary greatly among producers Costs and returns to the same enterprise vary greatly among producers Lots of example enterprise budgets and returns projections available Lots of example enterprise budgets and returns projections available Do not accept someone else’s enterprise budget for the cost and returns for growing corn, soybeans, dairy, beef, etc. as your costs Do not accept someone else’s enterprise budget for the cost and returns for growing corn, soybeans, dairy, beef, etc. as your costs You need to know your own costs, not someone else’s estimate or the typical costs You need to know your own costs, not someone else’s estimate or the typical costs

Lazarus and Selley 2005 (23 ft): $6.81/ac Lazarus and Selley 2005 (23 ft): $6.81/ac Iowa 2005 Custom Rate $11.05/ac Iowa 2005 Custom Rate $11.05/ac Wisconsin 2004 Custom Rate : $13.30/ac Wisconsin 2004 Custom Rate : $13.30/ac ($14.70/ac in WI 2007 Custom Rate) Indiana 2004 Custom Rate $11.78/ac Indiana 2004 Custom Rate $11.78/ac South Dakota (East) South Dakota (East) Custom Rate: $10/ac Custom Rate: $10/ac Missouri 2003 Custom Rate Missouri 2003 Custom Rate $10/ac ($12.10/ac heavy soil) SW Minnesota 2001: $10.83/ac SW Minnesota 2001: $10.83/ac

21 Why not just use Custom Rates? Custom rates not good estimates of typical farmer costs—usually too low Custom rates not good estimates of typical farmer costs—usually too low Run over more acres, spread fixed costs Run over more acres, spread fixed costs Volume discounts or search for best price, so lower purchase price Volume discounts or search for best price, so lower purchase price More efficient operators More efficient operators Family/friends not charge enough Family/friends not charge enough Discounted because not perfect timing Discounted because not perfect timing

22 Adjusting Custom Rates to Estimate your Cost Adjusting custom rates is an easy way to estimate typical machinery costs Adjusting custom rates is an easy way to estimate typical machinery costs K. Dhuyvetter and T. Kastens at Kansas State University developed a formula using KFMA cost data and custom rates K. Dhuyvetter and T. Kastens at Kansas State University developed a formula using KFMA cost data and custom rates www.agmanager.info/farmmgt/machinery/MF2583.pdf UWEX bulletin and Spreadsheet “Fast and Simple Method to Estimate Machinery Costs" UWEX bulletin and Spreadsheet “Fast and Simple Method to Estimate Machinery Costs" www.aae.wisc.edu/mitchell/Fast and Simple Method.pdf www.aae.wisc.edu/mitchell/Fast and Simple Method.pdf

23 Scale Factor Calculation Scale Factor = 1.241 + (33.026/acres) Scale Factor = 1.241 + (33.026/acres) Acres is annual acres operated Acres is annual acres operated Your Cost = Scale Factor x Custom Rate Your Cost = Scale Factor x Custom Rate If you operate 1500 acres, then Scale Factor = 1.241 + (33.026/1500) = 1.263 If you operate 1500 acres, then Scale Factor = 1.241 + (33.026/1500) = 1.263 Means your costs are 26.3% greater than the custom rate for a machinery operation Means your costs are 26.3% greater than the custom rate for a machinery operation

28 Crop Budgets Special Cases Crops such as alfalfa and pasture Crops such as alfalfa and pasture Create separate budgets for establishment and non- establishment years, then include pro-rated cost of establishment on the non-establishment year budget Create separate budgets for establishment and non- establishment years, then include pro-rated cost of establishment on the non-establishment year budget Establishment is $120/ac, non-establishment is $25/ac for 3 more years, so add $120/4 = $30/ac Establishment is $120/ac, non-establishment is $25/ac for 3 more years, so add $120/4 = $30/ac Orchards, vineyards, etc.: do net present value analysis of the entire cost stream Orchards, vineyards, etc.: do net present value analysis of the entire cost stream Storage, transportation, marketing, etc.: some crops large cost (vegetables, fruits) for these expenses, with different prices by sale date Storage, transportation, marketing, etc.: some crops large cost (vegetables, fruits) for these expenses, with different prices by sale date

29 Livestock Enterprise Budgets Many exist, many different ways used Many exist, many different ways used Unit: one cow, one hog, one ewe, etc., or one sow-litter, cow-calf, ewe-lambs, etc. Unit: one cow, one hog, one ewe, etc., or one sow-litter, cow-calf, ewe-lambs, etc. Time period: hogs, flocks: more than one per year, others longer than one year, so adjust all costs to the same time period Time period: hogs, flocks: more than one per year, others longer than one year, so adjust all costs to the same time period Machinery, facilities, and equipment: fixed and variable costs just as for crops Machinery, facilities, and equipment: fixed and variable costs just as for crops

30 Livestock Enterprise Budgets Multiple Outputs: milk, cull cows, calves Multiple Outputs: milk, cull cows, calves Adjust to one “cow unit” = 24,000 lbs milk, 0.39 cull cows, 0.52 calves, and 0.21 replacement heifers produced per year Adjust to one “cow unit” = 24,000 lbs milk, 0.39 cull cows, 0.52 calves, and 0.21 replacement heifers produced per year Include death loss and < 100% calving Include death loss and < 100% calving Examples Examples Iowa State University Iowa State University http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/livestock/html/b1-21.html http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/livestock/html/b1-21.html Center for Dairy Profitability & Team Forage Center for Dairy Profitability & Team Forage http://www.cdp.wisc.edu/Decision%20Making%20Tools.htm http://www.cdp.wisc.edu/Decision%20Making%20Tools.htm http://www.uwex.edu/CES/crops/uwforage/dec_soft.htm http://www.uwex.edu/CES/crops/uwforage/dec_soft.htm

31 Livestock Enterprise Budgets Raised crop used for livestock feed Raised crop used for livestock feed Cost for livestock use should be its opportunity cost— the cost if you had to buy the grain Cost for livestock use should be its opportunity cost— the cost if you had to buy the grain Credits crop with the full value of its production Credits crop with the full value of its production Manure used as crop fertilizer Manure used as crop fertilizer Cost to crop at its opportunity cost—the cost if you had to buy the equivalent fertilizer Cost to crop at its opportunity cost—the cost if you had to buy the equivalent fertilizer Credits livestock with full value of its production Credits livestock with full value of its production Delivery/Hauling costs for grain and manure Delivery/Hauling costs for grain and manure Charge all to one enterprise or split between? Charge all to one enterprise or split between?

32 Break-Even Yield and Price What yield or price do you need to break even on the enterprise? Break-Even Yield: At a given price, the yield needed to cover all costs Break-Even Yield = Total Cost/Output Price Break-Even Price: For a given average yield, the price needed to cover all costs Break-Even Price = Total Cost/Average Yield

33 Allocating Overhead Costs Farms overhead costs must be allocated across all enterprises Farms overhead costs must be allocated across all enterprises Workshop costs, membership dues, insurance, legal fees, accounting costs, taxes, utilities, office costs, etc. Workshop costs, membership dues, insurance, legal fees, accounting costs, taxes, utilities, office costs, etc. These costs should be declared on Schedule F, with depreciation tracked in farm records These costs should be declared on Schedule F, with depreciation tracked in farm records Enterprise budgets often miss these or similar costs Enterprise budgets often miss these or similar costs

34 Whole Farm Budget Budgeting system based on Schedule F to allocates ALL costs Budgeting system based on Schedule F to allocates ALL costs 3 year average of costs for each Schedule F category to “avoid” accrual adjustments 3 year average of costs for each Schedule F category to “avoid” accrual adjustments Income Statement: better base to allocate costs from, but not all farms have Income Statement: better base to allocate costs from, but not all farms have Main idea: Allocate % of Schedule F cost to each enterprise, all costs allocated Main idea: Allocate % of Schedule F cost to each enterprise, all costs allocated Examples Potatoes and Veggie Compass Examples Potatoes and Veggie Compass
