2022 Cost of ProductionCrops

.Guidelines For EstimatingCrop Production Costs - 2022Date: February, 2022**Revised - 2022 MASC values & Crop Prices**The following budgets are estimates of the cost of producing the most commonly grown fieldcrops in Manitoba. General Manitoba Agriculture recommendations are assumed in usingfertilizers and chemical inputs. These figures provide an economic evaluation of the crops andestimated yields required to cover all costs. Costs include labour, investment and depreciation,but do not include management costs, nor do they necessarily represent the average cost ofproduction in Manitoba.These budgets may be adjusted by putting in your own figures. As a producer you areencouraged to calculate your own costs of production for various crops. On each farm, costs andyields differ due to soil type, climate and agronomic practices.This tool is available as an Excel worksheet at:The Farm Machinery Custom and Rental Rate Guidedetermine machinery costs.is also available to helpThe CropPlan Production Cost Calculatoris also available for producers toestimate the cash cost of producing field crops on their farm on an annual basis. CropPlancalculates marginal returns, breakeven yields, breakeven crop prices on total production andremaining unsold inventory, land and machinery cost analysis and cash based financial ratios.Note: This budget is only a guide and is not intended as an in depth study of the cost of production of this industry.Interpretation and use of this information is the responsibility of the user. If you need help with a budget, contact a FarmManagement Specialist.

Guidelines: Crop Production CostsCROP PROFITABILITY IN EXTREME CONDITIONS - Crop Production Costs can help you balance several considerations.Producers face some tough crop selection decisions in the wake of a drought in 2021, higher than average grain prices and rising inputcosts. Questions like what crop will be the most profitable, which crop has the most downside risk, what crops fit best into a rotation andhow will cropping decisions in 2022 affect future cropping decisions on the farm are all top of mind this planning season. Additionalconcerns like potential herbicide carryover from a dry 2021 season, higher than average remaining fertility levels on land that grew wellbelow average crops, and changes in tillage practices to conserve moisture are all questions that need to considered in cropping choicesthat may not have been as important in previous years. Crops that were previously considered locks in the rotation are now beingquestioned, while the search for new crops to add to the rotation have taken on a new importance.Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development’s Crop Production Costs is a great place to start for crop profitability and risk analysis.This guide provides an easy to use template to fully evaluate all costs with the ability to compare different crops. These comparisons takeon increased importance with all the changes in the past 12 months to crop yields, crop prices and input costs. Cropping selections are notmade in a vacuum, as there are many connected variables that go into picking the best crops to grow in 2022. Crop profitability is alwaystop of mind for producers in considering what crops to grow. Reasonably assessing yield, price and cost based on realistic scenarios isvery important.YIELDThe drought of 2021 and the corresponding low yields broke up a string of relatively stable yields from previous growing seasons. Look toAgriInsurance probable yields for your farm from Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC). Consider your soil moisture levelsheading in to the 2022 growing season. Depending on the crop choice, dryer than average soil conditions should prompt a reduction inprojected yields used for planning purposes.PRICEWhile grain prices are high right now, there is variability and downside price risk in the commodity markets. Looking to new crop pricingrather than old crop pricing provides a better view into potential prices for the 2022 crop.COSTFinally consider the costs that go into growing a crop, one of the things that producers have some control over. Fertilizer prices are nearlydouble compared to prices last season. With some areas seeing severe drought reduced yields, accurately estimating remaining fertilitylevels with the current fertilizer prices will produce a great return on investment, so go soil test! Assessing crops that require less fertilizerto grow like soybeans, peas and flax will be worth the time spent. Seed costs are increasing due to the price of grain being high. Othercosts like fuel, labour, equipment and land always seem to take a steady march higher. It is very important this year to fully cost theseitems as there has been such a change in crop production costs for the upcoming year as compared to previous years.RISKSRisk with cropping decisions this year will be very important to identify. Creating some ‘what if’ scenarios will bring clarity to risks with cropchoices. With the effects of the 2021 drought in recent memory, what if crop yields are 40% lower than projected yields? Lower input cropssuch as oats and soybeans may see a smaller drop in profitability compared to higher input crops like canola and wheat. In extremeenvironmental situations though, rarely do all crops suffer the same yield loss as some perform better relative to others. In some regions in2021, soybeans suffered less of a yield loss compared to canola due to rainfall timing and how each type of plant handles extreme heat.Wheat also fared relatively better than other cereals in areas of drought as it was able to find and use more moisture than oats or barley.No one knows what the weather will be like for 2022, but if we enter winter dryer than average, determining what projections would looklike in another drought scenario would be the prudent management decision.ROTATIONConsidering the previous crop grown in determining a profitable crop rotation is important for success. Manitoba Agriculture and ResourceDevelopment and MASC have an informative table showing the yield response to a crop planted with a previous crop(https://www.masc.mb.ca/masc.nsf/mmpp crop rotations.html). For example, red spring wheat planted on oat stubble only provides a93% probable yield response compared to red spring wheat planted on soybean stubble providing a 108% probable yield response.Choosing crops that create a positive yield response can have large benefits to the farm, as each year’s gains have a positivecompounding effect over time. Farms that find themselves in this position will be much more resistant to the negative effects of extremeenvironmental conditions.The past few years have seen wheat, canola and soybeans make up nearly 80% of the crops grown in Manitoba. These crops havehistorically shown to be profitable and fit well into Manitoba’s growing conditions. However, growing only three crops can create riskcompared to growing a wider range of crops, essentially by not putting all of one’s eggs into one basket.On the other side, growing more crops in a rotation requires more production management knowledge and possibly a wider range ofequipment. Adding new crops to a rotation will initially create risk as there is a learning curve to growing a new crop, but over the long runrisk to the farm will be reduced as knowledge is gained in growing these crops.Calculating profitability based on realistic numbers, identifying downside risk with potential crops to be grown on the farm, andunderstanding the interconnectedness of rotation decisions will lead to long term success. Bringing in new crops into the rotation at asustainable pace and balancing the crops currently in the rotation will protect against future extreme environmental conditions. Failure toscrutinize these decisions on the farm under these conditions will put the farm at risk and limit the chances of success now and in thefuture.11

It is recommended that soil test sampling and analysisbe conducted each year to produce a better baseline for fertility. It costs 1.00 to 2.00/acre for custom sampling and analysis.Nitrogen Rate Calculator* For more information
