[QUOTE="Clive, post: 6529300, member: 6"] I thought it might be interesting to compare inputs costs on Wheat this year ? we could look at otter crops like OSR as well if successful I know this has been tried before on TFF and like any bench-marking consistency in how we compare numbers is vital to it making any sense. So if Outline my methodology in this first post maybe others can try the same and we can get some useful comparisons ? So taking [B]ALL variable costs per hectare[/B] 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 [B]then divide by yield in tonnes per ha [/B]to get your input cost per tonne [B]ie. £400 spent on inputs / 8t/ha = £50/t for example [/B] might be even more interesting if we wanted to break that down to a figure for each variety grown ? it could help us all pick the higher margin varieties [/QUOTE]
