Crop Enterprise Budgets

Financial Analysis & Record Keeping

Careful record keeping and some basic financial analysis can take some of the guesswork and stress out of being a business manager:

  • Motivation – Why get excited about financial analysis?
  • Analyzing your farm’s financial performance – Cash flow statements
  • Investment analysis – Different evaluation methods
  • Amortization of loans – Making them cash flow

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.
