Financial Analysis of Missouri Broiler-Beef Farms

agriculture economy. USDA estimates that Missouri marketed 240 million broilers in 2000 with a value of $356 million—nearly 8 percent of the state's cash receipts from all agricultural commodities. Broilers rank sixth behind cattle, soybeans, corn, hogs, and hay in value of production and provide about 960 full-time jobs in the direct care of flocks. The regional impact is magnified in the relatively few counties where broiler production is concentrated

Fieldwork days and machinery capacity

Department of Agricultural Economics"PFDM is a tool for evaluating the selection of a single piece of equipment for a particular field activity in a specific window of time. The tool relies on survey data of days suitable for fieldwork over the last 30 years as compiled by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. A companion MU publication, G362, Days Suitable for Fieldwork in Missouri, summarizes the data set. The model includes only Missouri data."New 10/07/3

Days suitable for fieldwork in Missouri (2007)

The number of days available to complete land-based agricultural activities influences decisions about inputs (e.g., variety/hybrid planted, pesticide used) and machinery. Limited fieldwork days during critical times, such as tillage, planting and harvest, require careful management. This publication provides information about which days are suitable for fieldwork in Missouri

Fieldwork days and machinery capacity (2007)

One of the more difficult decisions for farm managers is determining the appropriate machinery performance level to match the workload. The vagaries of weather, the narrow window of time to complete critical fieldwork, and the relatively high capital cost of equipment add complexity to an important decision. In this guide, the probability of not completing fieldwork in a timely fashion is used as a way to quantify the risk of incurring excess costs due to weather uncertainty. Without climatic data it is difficult to estimate the extent of risk exposure or to judge whether a farm is over or under capacity
