TEXAS MIDDLE GULF COAST
r
FOREWORD
The enterprise budgets for Texas Middle Gulf
Coast Region are based on estimates of yields,
production input quantities, and production prac
tices which represent the best judgment of local
producers, county Extension agents-agriculture, fi
nancial institution representatives, farm machinery
dealers and others knowledgeable of the area. Vari
ation in yields, production inputs and production
practices 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.
Land charges were based on the customary land
lord's crop share less his proportionate share of
certain production and harvesting inputs. A per
acre land charge was made when crop share was
not used.
