Enterprise budgets

Fall is a great time to pull together all that information you collected this summer but didn’t have the time to do anything with–the planting schedules, harvest records, labor records, equipment logs, market receipts–and get started updating (or developing) your enterprise budgets for next year.
An enterprise budget is a tool that is used by farmers to evaluate the efficiency and profitability of a particular enterprise. There are many places on the internet where you can get templates for enterprise budgets and see examples of budgets completed by others.
Here are a couple of my favorite sites to get you started:
CIAS Enterprise Budgets
Rutgers Enterprise Budgets
