Questions
- How do I work out crop profit?
- Multiply your harvest by your selling price to get sales, then take off everything you paid to grow and sell the crop. Dividing the answer by your field size gives profit per acre or hectare, which lets you compare fields and crops fairly.
- What is a break-even harvest?
- It’s the harvest that exactly repays your costs at your selling price. Anything above it is profit. If your expected harvest is close to it, one poor season could mean a loss.
- Should I count my own labour?
- It depends what you want to know. Leave it out to see the cash left at the end. Include it at a fair daily rate to see whether the crop pays better than other work would.
- What about crop I keep for the family?
- Enter it under crop you won’t sell. It comes out of your sales, and the calculator shows what it would have sold for, because food you’d otherwise buy still has value.
- Why is fertiliser rounded up?
- If you need 7.5 bags, you have to buy 8. The calculator charges the full 8, so your budget matches what you’ll pay at the shop.
