Common Mistakes to Avoid
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.
