Variation in yields, production inputs and production practices should be expected for particular farms. Budgets for all major crops produced in tiie 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 r typical and high level management. Jn some budgets 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 establishment costs in the respective pasture and hay budgets. Forage crops include expenses only because it is expected that the income will be derived from livestock enterprises. Land charges were based on the customary landlord'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.
