How to read this case study

  • The aim of this study is to show you how CropsProfit serves its purpose , 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.
