Annual benchmark reports enable producers to compare their productive, economic and financial performance to similar farming operations locally and provincially. Benchmark analysis is the first step in identifying cropping strengths and weaknesses. These reports contain cost and return information, and farm level financial performance.2018-08-16T21:39:02.251676+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/d860cd0f-3fb1-454f-8cf7-d58c88e51138Economics of Saskatoon berry production : a ten-acre enterprise2017-09-14T14:52:01.868542+00:00Diversification has become a common word in the agricultural industry, as producers are looking to add value to their business operations and improve their income. Fruit production on the prairies is a diversification option that is gaining interest from new producers to the agricultural industry. A small fruit enterprise, or one combined with other farm operations, may be an alternative venture for some producers. This resource presents information to provide potential Saskatoon berry producers with an estimate of capital investment, and annual costs and returns for a ten-acre Saskatoon berry enterprise. 2015-08-13T21:45:57.440025+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/22ffcede-efac-41e5-b8d2-b31891566eb5The economics of sugar beet production in Alberta2020-01-10T16:25:52.969442+00:00Agriculture (1905-1992)The Economics Branch of Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) have been monitoring sugar beet production costs and returns since the early 1970's. This program is a valuable source of information on benchmarks (averages) for sugar beets grown in Alberta. Results from these studies have been used for several purposes including policy and program development for the sugar beet industry. It has also been helpful to growers in managing their business as well as to the sugar beet board in price negotiations. The objectives of this publication are: To develop production costs and returns for sugar beet production in Alberta. To assist sugar beet growers with farm budgeting and planning. To analyze economies of scale; machine use and input/output relationships for sugar beet.2015-05-13T14:56:45.735081+00:00
