BUDGET PLANNER
What is Budget Planner?
Our Budget Planner is a budgeting tool which calculates the gross margins from each enterprise in the farm business. It is based on the projected yields and prices and the forecast of variable cost inputs. These gross margins are combined with other items of income set against the overhead or fixed costs to show the net profit/loss potential. Any number of variations in cropping and stocking can be tested to see the best combination.
Budget Planner is ideal for working with the John Nix farm management book and the ABC farm management book.
Main Features
Gross Margin of each Livestock & Crop Enterprise - At a glance you can see the contribution each enterprise has made to your business. Variable costs are listed so areas for possible cost reduction can be seen.
Crop Summary - The area yield target and projected value of crops are listed.
Livestock Reconciliation - A concise summary of births, transfers, sales and purchases allows closing stock numbers to be calculated.
Livestock Valuation - There is a facility for including livestock valuations at the beginning and end of the farming year.
Forage Gross Margin - A forage gross margin is calculated which can be compared with the arable crops.
Budget Report - A concise report summarising the most useful management information for decision making.
Overhead Costs - The effect of overhead or fixed costs on the overall gross margin is shown. A depreciation allowance can be included.
Profit/Loss - The final profit or loss of the business is readily calculated.
Number of Versions - As many versions as you wish may be drawn up.
