It’s not very hard to look at our VC costs on gatekeeper and divide by weighbridge yield. It’s not exactly ‘showing our workings’.
All correct, we are fastidious with this kind of thing. I think cost per tonne is a useful metric.Who said it was hard aslong as the figures
someone punches in the computer are accurate!
Perhaps theres been alot of 15tha crops.

@Clive what if I grow low input crops at £10/T but only produce 5t/ha?
Why not profit per acre ?
Looking at cost per tonne allows deeper analsys of varieties and input spend.Why not profit per acre ?

What are you putting grain drying under?Fixed or variable.
Alot of wheat was dried early on.
The point I'm making is I could say £25t just to look clever
and without showing my workings you'd be none the wiser.
ALL variable costs per hectare on my wheat this year to include - Seed (plus royalty and cleaning if FS), Fertilizers (N P K FYM / composts etc) Herbicide, Insecticide, fungicides, growth regs, trace elements, desiccant, slug pellets
Can define what you mean by "yield potential" here?that why variable cost spend per tonne is a better measure than per Ha I reckon
You could grow a big yield at high cost or a small yield at low cost and get the same result - shows its a good measure of if you are farming to your yield potential or not I guess and is a great way to compare varieties

Fuel and labour are variable costs for accounting purposessee post 1 - its pretty clear surely ? Grain drying is a fixed cost as far as any accountant would be concerned as is fuel, labour and repairs etc despite us all knowing they vary - so your are not REALLY being clever with your point##
quoted from post 1 the working to include as below for constancy
We can do a fixed cost comparison in another thread if you like but its a far more complex figure to work out

I’m with Clive, our accountant does it the same as his.VARIABLE COSTS vary with the amount produced.FIXED COSTS remain the same,no matter how much output a farm produces.A VARIABLE COST is a farms cost that is associated with the amount of produce
created...on the other hand,a fixed cost does not vary with the volume of production.
I'd change accountants !
So are you saying fuel is a fixed cost for drying grain?I’m with Clive, our accountant does it the same as his.
