Crop Cost of Production Worksheet: Version 1.

7 April 1, 2016

Note: while input prices are for 2015, the commodity price, which is used to generate the gross receipts, is typically the averag
of the current year harvest price and a 3-year rolling average for the crop marketing years preceding 2015.

The purpose of this spreadsheet is to allow the user to access the crop costs and returns (CAR) estimates--or enterprise
budgets--available from the University of Idaho and to modify these estimates to fit the user's situation. The crop costs and
returns estimates published by the University of Idaho are representative for that crop and area. They are not the average cos
production for a crop and area. More information is available on the background and assumption page provided with the
published budgets. These are available on the Internet at http://www.uidaho.edu/cals/idaho-agbiz/crop-enterprise-budgets Th
crops costs and returns are developed for different geographic regions of the state. This spreadsheet contains the irrigated cr
costs and returns estimates for eastern Idaho.

Each crop costs and returns estimate or enterprise budget is contained in a separate sheet. There is also a blank sheet that w
allow the user to create an enterprise budget from scratch. Data entry is made in the white cells. Existing data in these cells c
be modified or deleted. In general, the light green cells contain formulas and the light blue cells are labels or borders. Each
budget sheet is protected and the shaded (colored) cells are locked so that the user can not unintentionally over write a formul
In order to add or delete a row or to change labels in the colored cells, the sheet must be unprotected using Tools - Protection
(Protect Sheet - Unprotect Sheet) option.

There are limitations to what this program can do. It is not designed to provide the detailed calculations associated with a full
scale budget generator, such as that used to create the University of Idaho's enterprise budgets. The limitations are mainly in
calculating machinery operating costs and calculating ownership costs for machinery and equipment.

Repairs and fuel expenses are often tracked only on a whole farm. The values found on a 1040 Schedule F can be allocated
equally per acre, or a simple weighting scheme can be used. For example a crop like potatoes should get a bigger percentage
the per acre fuel and repair costs than wheat.

The sheets Mach_Input and Mach_Output can be used to calculate ownership costs for machinery and equipment, including
annual charges for depreciation, interest and insurance. This can be done for an individual piece of equipment or for all
equipment used in that enterprise. The "utilization" factor can be adjusted for each crop. If all the equipment on the farm is
entered in Mach_Input, simply change the utilization factor to get the appropriate enterprise specific values for depreciation,
interest and insurance. The machinery information is entered in Mach_Input. Information needed includes: the name of the ite
market value, purchase price, savage value, years of useful life, remaining life in years, insurance rate, interest rate and the
percent utilization factor. Calculated values are found in Mach_Output. These values can then be calculated on a per acre ba
by entering the number of acres in cell C35. These values can then be entered in the appropriate enterprise.

There are two issues that users should be aware of regarding crops with multiple products, i.e. a barley crop where both the
straw and the grain are harvested, or when a nurse crop is planted when a perennial crop is established. When multiple produ
are produced and listed in a budget, the breakeven values per unit of production (i.e. bushel, ton, etc.) will not work properly.
There is a similar problem with the sensitivity analysis on the second page of the sheet. The enterprise budget sheets and the
blank sheet are set up to list only one product. If a second product is added, the breakeven analysis will no longer be valid. Th
exception to this is the worksheet for seed potatos that was specicially designed for a crop with two products.

The abbreviated labels on the sheet tabs are similar to the publication number assigned to the published enterprise budgets. T
first two or three letters indicate the area of the state. These include: NI for Northern Idaho, WI for Western Idaho (Treasure
Valley), SCI for Southcentral Idaho (Magic Valley), and EI for Eastern Idaho (Upper and Lower Snake River Valleys). The
second series of letters is an abbreviation for the crop name. In general, the first two letters of the crop are used, i.e. Po for
potato, or the first letter of each word when the crop name has two words, i.e. MB for malting barley. The last two numbers
indicate the year these costs were collected, i.e. 15 for 2015. Crop budgets are revised and published on a biennial basis in o
numbered years.
