Notes
- The cost items reflect the input allocation based on the target yield for the respective crops.
- Although some expenditure items are zero, it is reflected in the budgets to allow for individual inclusion.
- Fertiliser assumptions (kg/ha): Maize N:P:K – 81:18:8. Soybeans N:P:K – 10:15:8. Sunflower N:P:K – 54:9:0.
- Micro-elements such as calcium, magnesium and zinc are included in the fertiliser costs.
- The cost of fuel includes pre-harvest and harvesting costs with the assumption that own machinery is used.
- The cost for soybean seed reflects a combination of own- and purchased seed.
- There will be large fluctuations for insurance cost (hail) based on the associated risk in respective areas. It is advised that producers adjust this cost based on their individual premiums.
- It is important to note that overhead costs are not included and should be accounted for.
