Crop Enterprise Budgets
Washington State University has a history of developing and publishing enterprise budgets for many of the major crops grown throughout Washington State. The purposes of these budgets are to estimate the costs and returns from producing these crops for research and policy purposes and to provide producers and their credit providers with a tool to use in enterprise selection and financing.
