Welcome to the Agricultural Economics Department's Interactive Enterprise Budgeting System. This system has been designed to be used by farmers, extension personnel, lenders and agricultural specialists to estimate the costs and returns using an enterprise budget. |
|
The main goal of this system is to be a helping guide to users wanting to customize the enterprise budgets to their needs and conditions. It allows users to enter their own values like the type of fertilizer used, the operator costs and so on. |
|
This helpful tool is free to use after an online instant signup process. After signing up for an account in the system, users can modify and print enterprise budgets of various crops of their interest. |
| If you would like to view a demo page to see how the interactive system works,click here. Note however that this is just one demo page and you will need to signup for an account if you need to select another budget. |
| This System currently has enterprise budgets for Corn, Cotton, Grain Sorghum, Soybeans, Wheat followed by soybeans, Rice and Vegetables |

Why should I use this system?
Enterprise budgets represent a type of budget that can be used by a wide variety of individuals in making decision in the food and fiber industry. They are used:
- by farmers for planning,
- by extension personnel in providing educational programs to farmers,
- by lenders as a basis for credit,
- to provide basic data for research, and
- to inform non-farmers of the costs incurred by farmers in the production of food and fiber crops.
Traditionally, the Department of Agricultural Economics at Mississippi State University has been publishing a Budget Report that provides information concerning general levels of costs and returns. But, this will have to be adjusted for specific situations.
This is where an interactive budget system really comes handy. This system will take inputs from the user and generate a budget tailored to their needs. The basic budget is shown initially and users can add, delete, or change costs or incomes to reflect their specific situations.
