Common Mistakes to Avoid

Excluding unpaid family labor from costs

Assign market-rate wages for all operator and family labor hours. Without this, profit margin is overstated and the farm may actually be unprofitable on a true economic basis.

Ignoring depreciation and land cost

Equipment depreciation and land opportunity cost (rent equivalent for owned land) are real economic costs. Include them for true profit margin, not just cash flow margin.
