....... for the bank manager.
I'm growing fruit and veg, and whilst the annual crops are fairly straight forward to put a value on within the growing year, I'm struggling with the perennial crops.
eg apples, high initial investment in year one, and little or no return until year three or four. Life expectancy of ten to fifteen years. Do I amortise the initial investment over ten years and have a flat rate per year, or do I claim it is worthless until it is cropping and use a sliding scale as productivity goes up? Or do I just put in a figure that suits the purpose of the question?
