rTEXAS MIDDLE GULF COAST
FOREWORDThe enterprise budgets for Texas Middle Gulf
Coast Region are based on estimates of yields,production input
quantities, and production practices which represent the best
judgment of localproducers, county Extension agents-agriculture,
financial institution representatives, farm machinerydealers and
others knowledgeable of the area. Variation in yields, production
inputs and productionpractices should be expected for particular
farms.
Budgets for all major crops produced in thearea are included for
two levels of management,when applicable. Crop yields are directly
relatedto levels of management. These differences are duelargely to
timing of operational practices whichmay not be evident in the
budgets.
The machinery inventory is applicable to bothtypical and high
level management. In some budgets custom rates, primarily
harvesting, were usedin lieu of the assumption that harvesting
equipment was owned.
Budgets for establishing permanent type pasturegrasses were
prepared and used for prorating establishment costs in the
respective pasture and haybudgets. Forage crops include expenses
only because it is expected that the income will be derivedfrom
livestock enterprises.
Land charges were based on the customary landlord's crop share
less his proportionate share ofcertain production and harvesting
inputs. A peracre land charge was made when crop share wasnot
used.
