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 2025 planning decisions. This would be a one-year short-run decision. Decisions
beyond one year, or long-run 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
and production practice data.
Acknowledgment is made to the Mississippi State University Extension Service, the
Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, and the United States Agricultural
Research Service staffs for the excellent cooperation that made this report possible.

2025 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.

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

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.

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 2024.
(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

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.

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

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

IIR
CRF =
1 – (1 + IIR)

-TYL

where:
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

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.

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, notillage, irrigation, and double-cropping are
tempered with unpublished research and
judgments of the commodity committees.
Producers should use yield estimates that are
reflective of their own operations.
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 2024 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.

Irrigation Costs
Estimated costs of various irrigation
systems are presented in Appendix Tables 8, 9,
10, and 11.

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.
