⚖ PrecAg ROI Gap
📊 USDA NASS — Commodity Market Prices

Official USDA NASS price received data for wheat, almonds, corn, soybeans, and specialty crops. Auto-populates crop price inputs across SF0-E.001 (Morris wheat), SF0-E.003 (almond price), and SF0-E.006 (precision ag crop price).

Select commodity and year, then click Fetch to load NASS price data.

Source: USDA NASS QuickStats. Price Received, Annual average. Live API attempted; reference data used as fallback.

📈 USDA ERS — Farm Input Price Indices

USDA Economic Research Service farm input price benchmarks for fertilizer, pesticide, fuel, and labor. Auto-populates nitrogen fertilizer price (SF0-E.002 Haney N savings) and base fertilizer/pesticide costs (SF0-E.006 precision ag).

Select input type and region to load USDA ERS farm input price benchmarks.

Source: USDA ERS Commodity Costs and Returns. Annual averages. Reference benchmarks; local prices may vary.

⚖ Precision Agriculture ROI Gap Analysis

Compares precision ag imaging cost against expected input savings (fertilizer + pesticide reduction) and yield uplift to determine break-even acreage and ROI. Requires NASS prices and ERS input costs to be loaded.

Load NASS and ERS data first, then click Build ROI Gap.

Tip: Use the break-even acreage output to determine minimum field size where precision ag investment is economically justified for your operation.

💰 Morris Durum Economics

Model SF0-E.001

Calculate profitability of Morris durum vs. traditional varieties. Includes premium pricing analysis, seed cost comparison, and ROI calculations.

🌱 Haney Soil Test ROI

Model SF0-E.002

Calculate fertilizer savings and return on investment from Haney Soil Health Test results. Includes biological nitrogen credits, cover crop economics, and multi-year projections.

🌰 Self-Compatible Variety ROI

Model SF0-E.003

Calculate ROI of adopting self-compatible almond varieties vs traditional cross-pollinating varieties. Based on USDA-ARS research.

Traditional varieties: 2-3 hives/acre
Self-compatible: 0.5-1.5 hives/acre
2024 CA average: $200-250/hive
Single variety harvest efficiency
Positive if self-compatible yields more

🌰 Almond Variety Comparison

Model SF0-E.004

Compare 'Parpareil' vs 'Nonpareil' or other almond varieties. Evaluate total production economics including pollination, harvest, and yield.

Variety A (e.g., Traditional)

Variety B (e.g., Self-Compatible)

Common Parameters

🌰 Orchard Management Efficiency

Model SF0-E.005

Compare single-variety (self-compatible) vs mixed-variety orchard management costs. Includes pollination, harvest, and operational efficiency factors.

Based on hive requirements × rental cost

📡 Precision Agriculture ROI

Model SF0-E.006

Calculate ROI for hyperspectral imaging, drone/satellite monitoring, and precision agriculture.

Imaging System

Satellite: $1-3, Drone: $5-15, Aircraft: $10-25 per acre/flight
Typical: 3-6 flights per growing season

Traditional Scouting

Labor + vehicle costs for field scouting

Input Savings

Variable rate application: typical 10-20%
Spot spraying: typical 15-30%

Yield Impact

Early detection: typical 2-7%

🦠 WGC002 Disease Resistance ROI
