Enterprise budgets, breakeven analysis, input cost ROI, cash rent affordability, crop insurance decision tools, grain marketing analysis, machinery costs, and FSA payment estimators — powered by USDA ERS and NASS data.
World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates — select a commodity to load USDA production, ending stocks, and season-average price forecasts. Complements NASS historical data with forward-looking market context.
Select a commodity and state to fetch the latest USDA price, yield, and acreage data. Values auto-populate into Enterprise Budget (SF1-E.001), Breakeven (SF1-E.002), Cash Rent (SF1-E.004), N-Rate Optimizer (SF1-E.005), Grain Marketing (SF1-E.006), and FSA Estimator (SF1-E.008) calculators below.
Data source: USDA NASS QuickStats. This product uses the NASS API but is not endorsed or certified by NASS. National reference data (2023–24) used as fallback when live API is unavailable.
Model SF1-E.001
Build a complete crop enterprise budget itemizing seed, fertilizer, chemical, machinery, labor, and land costs against projected revenue. Benchmarked to USDA ERS cost-of-production surveys.
Model SF1-E.002
Calculate the minimum price and minimum yield needed to cover all production costs. Essential for pre-plant marketing decisions, crop insurance elections, and lender documentation.
Model SF1-E.003
Calculate the return on investment for additional inputs — fungicide applications, foliar fertilizers, seed treatments, biologicals. Calculates the breakeven yield response needed to justify each input.
Model SF1-E.004
Determine the maximum cash rent you can afford to pay and still achieve your target profit margin. Compares your bid against USDA NASS county average cash rent benchmarks.
Model SF1-E.005
Find the Economically Optimal Nitrogen Rate (EONR) using the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) framework. Accounts for crop price, N fertilizer cost, previous crop, and soil organic matter.
Model SF1-E.006
Compare cash sale vs. forward contract vs. storage strategies. Models basis levels, carrying charges, and storage costs to identify the highest net price option using USDA NASS price data.
Model SF1-E.007
Calculate the true per-acre cost of machinery ownership including depreciation, interest, insurance, repairs, and fuel. Compare ownership cost against custom hire rates using USDA ERS benchmarks.
Model SF1-E.008
Estimate ARC-CO and PLC payment potential based on current MYA prices, county yields, and your enrolled base acres. Compare program choices side-by-side using USDA FSA payment formulas.
Built on USDA ERS cost-of-production surveys, NASS commodity price data, and FSA program formulas, AgrStak's Crop Production Economics calculators translate federal farm finance data into precise, farm-level decisions. From enterprise budgets to FSA program comparisons, these 8 models support farmers, agricultural lenders, farm managers, and crop consultants across the US. Part of AgrStak's 431-model platform — patent pending.
