1 Guidelines for Estimating Special Crop Production Costs 2018 in Manitoba

2

3 Guidelines For Estimating Special Crop Production Costs Date: January, 2018 The following budgets are estimates of the cost of producing selected special field crops in Manitoba. General Manitoba Agriculture recommendations are assumed in using fertilizers and chemical inputs. These figures provide an economic evaluation of the crops and estimated yields required to cover all costs. Costs include labour, investment and depreciation, but do not include management costs, nor do they necessarily represent the average cost of production in Manitoba. These budgets may be adjusted by putting in your own figures. As a producer you are encouraged to calculate your own costs of production for various crops. On each farm, costs and yields differ due to soil type, climate and agronomic practices. This tool is available as an Excel worksheet at: or at your local Manitoba Agriculture office. The Farm Machinery Custom and Rental Rate Guide is also available to help determine machinery costs. The CropPlan Production Cost Calculator is also available for producers to estimate the cash cost of producing field crops on their farm on an annual basis. CropPlan calculates marginal returns, breakeven yields, breakeven crop prices on total production and remaining unsold inventory, land and machinery cost analysis and cash based finanical ratios. Note: This budget is only a guide and is not intended as an in depth study of the cost of production of this industry. Interpretation and use of this information is the responsibility of the user. If you need help with a budget, contact your local Manitoba Agriculture office.

MB Ag. recommends that soil test sampling and analysis be conducted each year to produce a better baseline for fertility. It costs $1.00 to $2.00/acre for custom sampling and analysis. * For more information on fertilizer rates and recommendations - Nitrogen Rate Calculator * Note: phosphorus amounts are allotted to each crop in the above examples. Sometimes this amount may not be practical or safe to apply with the seed of some crops like soybean or canola.

10 Guidelines: Special Crop Production Costs 8 Fuel Costs: Includes fuel used for field work, trucking in inputs and trucking out production. Machinery Operating Costs: Includes costs for maintenance, repairs, licenses and insurance. Crop Insurance: (2017 rates) Insured Value coverage, $50/acre excess moisture Insurance, and additional hail insurance at $160/acre coverage for all crops. Coverage and costs based on MASC Risk Areas #2, 5, 6, and 12. Other Costs: Includes overhead expenses - hydro, telephone, accounting, buildings, supplies and insurance, etc. Interest On Operating: Land Investment Cost: Depreciation: Investment Cost: Other Assumptions Land Taxes: The average cost based on land tax assessment and mill rates of a sample of municipalities growing crops less provincial tax rebate. Interest charges on operating costs are calculated at 5% for six months. Land value are based on approximate average land values. Budget assumed 2.75% return on land investment Assumed 10% on machinery, 33% salvage value. Assumed 2.75% opportunity cost on machinery. Estimated Farmgate Values: Target crop prices are based on deferred delivery contract prices for fall Target yields are estimated based on 5 year MASC average yields plus 5%. Depreciation Cost = Original Cost - Salvage Value Useful Life Investment Cost = Original Cost + Salvage Value x Investment Rate 2 Storage Cost: Storage costs for each crop are based on estimated yields entered on the Summary page. Assumed a 10% depreciation cost and 2.75% investment cost. Farm storage requirements were assumed to cost $1.95/bushel for 25% of the storage and $2.45/bushel for 75% aerated storage. Example - Kidney Bean Non-Aeration Bins (25%) Depreciation: $47.94-$ years = $2.16 Investment: $47.94+$ x 2.75% $0.73 Sub-Total = $2.88 x 25% = $0.72 Aeration Bins (75%) Depreciation: $60.23-$ years = $2.71 Investment: $60.23+$ x 2.75% $0.91 Sub-Total = $3.62 x 75% = $2.72 Total $3.44 Profitability, Breakeven & Risk Analysis Formulas: Gross Revenue = Price per unit x Yield per acre (eg. kidney bean: $0.42/lb x 1475lb/ac = $619.50/ac) Net Profit = Gross Revenue - Total Cost (eg. kidney bean: $ gross revenue - $ total cost = $ per acre) Operating Expense Ratio = (Operating Cost / Gross Revenue) x 100 (eg. kidney bean: $ operating expense / $619.5 revenue = 55.4%) Return on Investment (ROI) = (Gross Revenue - Total Cost) / Total Cost (eg. kidney bean: ($ $510.81) / $ = 21.3%) Estimated Return on Asset (ROA) = (Margin Over Operating - Labour - Machinery Depreciation) / (Land Investment Cost + Machinery Investment Cost) (eg. kidney bean: ($ margin - $30.00 labour - $49.06 dep.) / ($2800 land cost + $ conv. machinery + $50.00 special crop. mach.) = 5.58%) Breakeven Price = Cost / Target Yield (eg. kidney bean cost $ / 1475 lb = $0.35 per lb) Breakeven Yield = Cost / Target Price per Unit (eg. kidney bean cost $ / $0.42 lb = lb) Breakeven Yield Risk Ratio = (Yield per Acre / Breakeven Yield) x 100 (eg. kidney bean yield 1475 lb/ac / lb BE = 121 %) AgriInsurance Risk Ratio = (AgriInsurance Coverage / Operating Cost) x 100 (eg. kidney bean coverage $490.05/ac / $ operating expense = 143 %) Created and maintained by Manitoba Agriculture Farm Management January, 2018 For more information, contact your local Roy Arnott Manitoba Agriculture Office or: Darren Bond Sharon Ardron Farm Management Specialist Farm Management Specialist Farm Management Specialist
