[QUOTE="curlietailz, post: 7796135, member: 11831"] Well I’ve done some fag packet calculations today We still have some ground left to drill. So my calculation was 2nd Winter Wheat , Spring Barley or fallow WW @ 3.25 t/ac @ £190/t ( already sold some at that) less seed ( already in shed) and N @ 210kgN/ha @£700/tonne and spray at 50% more cost than last year I know that’s an unhealthy mix of /ha and /ac but it’s how I work it all out longhand ! With a mix of kg/ha and cwt /ac to boot lol leaves around £260/acre to pay for overheads, rent& finance ,machinery, cultivation’s, sundries etc. similar calc with Spring Barley @ 2.25t/ac @ £170/ton ( again already sold some at that) gives a figure of £208/acre SO well still keep trying to put Winter wheat in But spring barley vs fallow vs cover will be a calculation for March. good luck everyone it’s going to be a difficult and draining year. Both financially and emotionally Edit:- £260/acre is a crap Gross Margin But the alternatives to me appears to be worse. Other than a cover fallow and a decent first wheat next year the overhead costs are still there. So £260/ac is better than nowt. Massive variables in that calc = Yield/seed rate/fertilizer price and availability/spray price and availability/ grain sale price etc [/QUOTE]
