Each volunteer will receive a one-day pass to the IPM. To register, contact Jerome Courchesne at 705-845-0507 or email jeromecourchesne@hotmail.com 

 Field crop budgets

These crop budgets are a tool for estimating expenses. The sample costs are only a guide to illustrate a method of preparing your projections. They are based on many assumptions, including seeding rates, levels of fertilizer use, etc. Due to regional differences, there may be considerable variation in results. To project your break-even price after total costs, enter your farm figures in the spaces provided. The resulting estimate will help you choose your crop mix and set target prices and marketing strategies for your farm. Electronic versions of these crop budget worksheets can be found at ontario.ca/agbusiness under ‘cost of production budgets.’
