r TEXAS HIGH PLAINS II FOREWORD r The enterprise budgets for Texas High Plains II Region are based on estimates of yields, produc tion 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. gets custom rates, primarily harvesting, were used in lieu of the assumption that harvesting equip ment was owned. 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. The machinery inventory is applicable to both typical and high level management. In some bud Land charges were based on the customary land lord's crop share less his proportionate share of certain production and harvesting inputs and a percentage of fixed cost on the irrigation system when applicable. A per acre land charge was made when crop share was not used. 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. r TEXAS HIGH PLAINS II REGION Assumed Prices Paid and Received by Farmers 1/ Item Unit Price lb. lb. $ .33 Prices Paid (1978) Seed Cotton (Delinted) Grain Sorghum Soybean Wheat (Cleaned and Treated) Alfalfa Corn (For Grain) Corn (For Silage) Forage Sorghum Sugar Beets r Custom Rates Cotton (Strip and Haul) Combining Corn Combining Soybeans Combining Wheat (Dryland) Combining Wheat (Irrigated) Combining Grain Sorghum (Dryland) Combining Grain Sorghum (Irrigated) Sugar Beets (Harvest and Haul) Hay Harvest, Swath, Bale, Haul Corn (Harvest) Drying Corn Hauling Corn Grain Sorghum Soybeans Wheat ' \ lb. bu. lb. bag lb. lb. lb. cwt. bu. .45 .18 3.00 1.50 45.00 .60 .35 1.25 1.00 .30 acre acre acre acre cwt. 10.00 7.00 7.00 7.00 ton 4.00 bale bu. bu. bu. .30 .60 .30 .10 bu. bu. .05 .10 .10 .10 Cotton Ginning cwt, 1.75 Fuel and Lubricants Gasoline L.P.
