Foreword
This report is designed to provide necessary planning data to farmers, research and extension
staffs, lending agencies, and others in agriculture. Readers are cautioned that returns presented
are labeled "Returns Above Specified Expenses." Estimated costs for land, management, and
general farm overhead are not included in this report. The exception is unallocated labor, which
is included. "Returns Above Direct Expenses" should be used in making 2022 planning
decisions. This would be a one-year short-run decision. Decisions beyond one year, or longrun decisions, should be based on "Returns Above Specified Expenses."

Acknowledgments
A list of individuals who contributed to the development of the agricultural enterprise
budgets follows this acknowledgment. The administrative committee structure and enterprise
committees have shown a spirit of cooperation seldom found when so many work together. A
team effort has led to many improvements in the budgets over the years.
Special appreciation is expressed to producers who provided information on crop
practices used. Appreciation also is expressed to farm supply dealers, equipment dealers,
custom operators, and chemical companies who provided prices for crop production inputs. The
Mississippi Agricultural Statistics Service is commended for its excellence in collecting price

2022 Planning Budgets
Budgets for Agricultural Enterprises

Methods and Procedures

This publication provides economic and
technical information in the form of enterprise
budgets for a major crop produced by
Mississippi farmers.
A multidisciplinary
approach involving researchers and extension
personnel was used to determine production
practices and input quantities, and to estimate
costs and returns for each enterprise (14). The
purpose of this section is to present the methods
and procedures used to calculate costs and
returns for each budget included in this
publication.
Enterprise budgets represent a type of
information that can be used by a wide variety
of individuals in making decisions in the food
and fiber industry. They are used:

Production Practices

-

by farmers for planning,

-

by extension personnel in providing
educational programs to farmers,

-

by lenders as a basis for credit,

-

to provide basic data for research, and

-

to inform non-farmers of the costs incurred
by farmers in the production of food and
fiber crops.

A budget should be prepared with a specific
objective in mind. The budgets in this report
were prepared to provide general information
for several different uses. They provide
information concerning general levels of costs
and returns which will need to be adjusted for
specific situations. Most users should think of
these budgets as a first approximation and then
make appropriate adjustments using the "Your
Farm" column provided on each budget to add,
delete, or change costs or incomes to reflect
their specific situations.

The production practices listed in each
budget are the result of a combined effort by
researchers and extension personnel to represent
those practices that producers could use in a
specific production system. Producers might
use different practices in their own operations.
If different types and quantities of operating
inputs are to be used, then the budgeted
expenses should be changed to more accurately
reflect actual input usage.
Committees made up of appropriate
disciplines from the Mississippi Agricultural
and Forestry Experiment Station, the
Mississippi State University Extension Service,
and the U.S. Department of Agriculture review
and update the practices in the budgets every
year. The updates are based on the collective
judgment of the committee members.
Quantities of materials and individual
production practices budgeted are based on
generally accepted recommendations by
committee members.

Machinery
Machinery manufacturers form the basis for
machinery prices used in these publications.
Prices by size of equipment are determined
from the most common sales in each category as
reported by machinery dealers. Prices used in
the budgets reflect prices paid by farmers in
2021. (Appendix Tables 1, 2, and 3).
A performance rate reflects the time
required to perform a given task or operation
and is expressed as that part of an hour per acre.
Previous studies and expert knowledge of the
equipment committee members are used to
estimate performance rates for new and larger
equipment (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 13).

2
The hours of annual use have been
modified based on information collected from
the cited studies (3, 4, 6, and 7).
Repairs and maintenance as a percentage of
new cost are estimated for the life of the
equipment and include oil and lubricants (1, 4,
and 6).
Estimates of Direct Costs
Direct costs include estimated costs of
repairs and maintenance (R&M) for all
machinery and include fuel costs for powered
machinery (Appendix Tables 1, 2, and 3).
Direct costs are estimated on an hourly basis
and are then converted to a per-acre basis using
the performance rate for the particular
operation. R&M costs for towed equipment and
powered equipment are estimated as follows:

RPH = RLC x RP
THL

RPA = RPH x PR
where:
RPH = R&M cost per hour of use
RLC = Replacement cost of machine
RP = R&M percentage (percent of RLC)
THL = Total hours of machine life
RPA = R&M cost per acre
PR = Performance rate

perform the in-field tasks. Operator labor is that
labor required to operate all power-driven
equipment. Irrigation labor is used to perform
tasks associated with an irrigation system.
Unallocated labor is an estimate of labor that is
not used directly in producing the enterprise. Its
cost is estimated as a percentage of operator
labor (11). The percentages used for the various
crop enterprises are listed in Appendix Table 6.
Interest on operating capital is determined
by using a short-term interest rate obtained from
agricultural lenders and making a charge against
capital outflows as the production process takes
place. Interest is accumulated until the crop is
harvested.

Estimates of Fixed Costs
Annual fixed cost estimates for machinery
are based on a budgeting technique which
computes the annual capital recovery charge (2,
p. 143). When a combination of machines or
equipment is required to perform a single
operation, the total cost per acre for all
equipment used in the operation is estimated.
The fixed cost of machinery ownership is
calculated by first computing the capital
recovery factor and then using it to estimate the
annual capital recovery charge.

IIR
CRF =
1 – (1 + IIR)

-TYL

where:
Direct costs include an estimate of fuel cost
based on average fuel consumption per hour of
use for the power unit. Other components of
direct costs include quantities of materials used
in production multiplied by the price per unit of
these inputs, custom rates, hourly wage rates,
and interest charges on operating capital
(Appendix Tables 4, 5, and 6).
The labor wage rate per hour includes
social security, accident and unemployment
insurance, and some perquisites (11). Labor
costs are estimated for four labor categories:
operator labor, hand labor, irrigation labor, and
unallocated labor. Operator labor and hand
labor represent estimates of labor required to

CRF = Capital recovery factor
IIR = Intermediate-term interest rate
TYL = Total years of life

CRCPY = [(RLC – SV) x CRF]
+ (SV x IIR)
where:
CRCPY = Capital recovery charge per year
RLC = Replacement cost
SV = Salvage value (at end of useful life)

3
This value is then converted to its per-hour and
per-acre equivalent values:

CRCPH = CRCPY
HAU
CRCPA = CRCPH x PR
where:
CRCPH = Capital recovery charge per hour
HAU = Hours of annual use
CRCPA = Capital recovery charge per acre
PR = Performance rate

Estimates of Returns
It is difficult to estimate crop yields that
may be expected for a particular production
system in a given year. Crop yields used in the
budgets are representative of historical yields
modified to match the production system used
to produce the yield. All yields including
conventional, no-tillage, irrigation, and doublecropping are tempered with unpublished
research and judgments of the commodity
committees.
Producers should use yield
estimates that are reflective of their own
operation.
To estimate returns, a price for the
commodity must be used. Individual producers
must determine their own expected price for the
commodity. Commodity prices used in this
report represent the higher of a calculated
forward contract price or the loan rate that was
applicable for the 2021 crop year. Government
payments for commodities are not included in
the budgets except to the extent that they are
included in loan rates.
The futures price for an appropriate
contract month is determined by averaging the
closing prices for the first five trading days in
October. The basis is determined by subtracting
the average daily cash price for the month of
October from the average daily closing price of
the specified harvest month futures contract.
These average futures prices and the basis
adjustments are presented in Appendix Table 7.

A special table is presented to illustrate the
effects of alternative levels of yields and prices
on net returns. The budgeted yield and the
budgeted price are used as base values (100
percent). Yields are then varied from 50 to 150
percent of the base yield while prices are varied
from 75 to 125 percent of the base price. Net
returns are computed for each combination of
yield and price.

Irrigation Costs
Estimated costs of various irrigation
systems are presented in Appendix Tables 8 and
9. A dryland crop budget may be converted to
an irrigated crop budget by adding the
appropriate direct and fixed costs to the costs of
the dryland crop. Also, adjustments in crop
yields and other costs may be required with the
addition of supplemental irrigation.
Net Returns
Net returns are generally considered to be
the amount left after subtracting all costs from
all incomes for a particular enterprise. In these
budgets, “RETURNS ABOVE DIRECT
EXPENSES” and “RETURNS ABOVE
TOTAL SPECIFIED EXPENSES” are used as a
proxy for the economic concepts of net returns
above variable costs and net returns above
variable plus fixed costs, respectively. Some
items are intentionally left out of these
calculations, i.e., costs for land or land rent,
taxes, insurance premiums, general farm
overhead, and expected incomes from
government payments or insurance payments.
These costs and incomes vary widely among
farms and farm situations so as to make routine
calculation for representative situations
impractical. These items should, however, be
considered by each producer and factored into
the final budget each producer develops for his
own situation.
