TEXAS EDWARDS PLATEAU
WESTERN
r
FOREWORD
The enterprise budgets for Texas Edwards
Plateau-Western Region are based on yields, pro
duction input quantities, and production practices
which represent the best judgment of local produc
ers, county Extension agents-agriculture, financial
institution representatives, farm machinery dealers
and others knowledgeable of the area. Variation
in yields, production inputs and production prac
tices should be expected for particular farms.
Budgets for all major crops produced in the
area are included for two levels of management,
when applicable. Crop yields are directly related
to levels of management. These differences are due
largely to timing of operational practices which
may not be evident in the budgets.
r
The machinery inventory is applicable to both
typical and high level management. In some bud
gets custom rates, primarily harvesting, were used
in lieu of the assumption that harvesting equip
ment was owned.
Budgets for establishing permanent type pasture
grasses were prepared and used for prorating estab
lishment costs in the respective pasture and hay
budgets. Forage crops include expenses only be
cause it is expected that the income will be derived
from livestock enterprises.
Crop share rental agreements do not exist to any
substantial degree. Land charges were, therefore,
calculated by using a fair market value times an
interest rate or a cash lease.
