FOREWORD
The enterprise budgets for Texas Winter Gar
den Region are based on estimates of 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 arc directly related
to levels of management. These differences arc 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
gets custom rates, primarily harvesting, were used
lieu of the assumption that harvesting equipment
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 one of the follow
ing three methods: 1) customary landlord's crop
share less his proportionate share of certain produc
tion and harvesting inputs; 2) a cash lease; or 3) a
fair market value times an interest rate.
