📈 The formula for farming profit success 📈![]()
![]()
Knowing how much income your farm needs to generate is an important question for farming success but it’s not always an easy one to answer. A basic understanding of your farm’s income, expenses and your profit target is a good starting point. ![]()
![]()
Your farm income must cover all the running costs of the farm to produce a farm profit, and this profit is what pays back loans, pays taxes and is available to re-invest in your business as well as pays for your living expenses. ![]()
![]()
So, to answer the question “How much income does the farm need to make?", it is sometimes better to first determine how much profit is required to pay for these things. Having a profit target helps to understand the size and type of business you need to produce the income you require. We can use this simple formula below: ![]()
![]()
Farm profit target = Farm income - direct expenses - overhead expenses![]()
