Enterprise Budgets

The Ohio State University Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics produces these budgets to aid producers in evaluating alternative plans. Ohio Crop Enterprise Budgets represent common, workable combinations of inputs that can achieve a given output. Amounts of seed, types and quantities of fertilizer, chemicals, and other items reflect University recommendations and the experience of many Ohio farmers. The specific combinations of inputs and prices presented will not likely precisely reflect any given farm. In practice, actual costs will be higher or lower than shown. Thus the most important column is "Your Budget". Our enterprise budgets are compiled on downloadable Excel Spreadsheets that contain macros for ease of use. Users can input their own production and price levels to calculate their own numbers. Detailed footnotes are included to help explain methodologies used to obtain the budget numbers.
