    Cost of Production Spreadsheets

    A great set of Excel spreadsheets for cost of production for all farming practices.

    I just make up my own set every year. I know formulating, and so it is pretty easy to plug in the numbers.

      I have my own as well. I do my preseeding budget and adjust to actuals after harvest and have used a similiar system for 17 years. You get really good info over that length of time.

      I used to seed 5 crops and what I found was that it was the same three winners on my farm year after year. Now I only grow three, with the odd wild card thrown in from year to year.

      The moral of the story is find a system and get familiar with it.

      You will make better decisions.

        Are you kidding!
        What planet most farmers have their own or even a couple at their office computer!

          My point tweedy! Farmers aren't as stupid as you think! We're all doing exactly what your hinting!
          Have a great big wonderful day from your office!

            Sask ag has similar to the Manitoba site. I find these of some value to benchmark some of my costs against others ideas.

                James, I find it amazing what some apparently spend on their crops when I look at those sites. I always second guess my costs when I see what an average for non cash, and even some of the basic input costs are.

                  Hey SF3, just posting a site for info. No need for the dickhead comments.

                  Good formulas on depreciation etc you may want to incorporate in to your own sheets.

                  I wrote my own accounting software in SQL server and .net C#. Always nice to see what others are doing.

                  FCC Agexpert has a great demo download too.

                    Here is Alberta's version of a cost of production worksheet with some wrinkles around analysing risk/scenario analysis.

                    As indicated by others, an alternative. Pick the one that works best for you.
