The purpose of this study is to illustrate CropsProfit’s results season after season.
It uses actual farmer’s break-even costs, planned harvest yields and final harvest yields.
The same lowest net profit goal of 20% above total break-even cost and seeded area were used for all seasons.
Profits fluctuated each season, but the CropsProfit model caught the curveballs and helped to ensure consistent profitability despite changing market and weather conditions.
All costs, including marketing, were covered and a profit was made each season.
Create your own season from your old data to see for yourself. If you have any problems, invite someone you trust to join your team and to help you.
