Ag Business Management Enterprise Budgets

The ABM Team develops detailed enterprise budgets of average costs and incomes associated with growing major crops and livestock produced in Colorado on a regional basis. The budgets are updated annually for the previous crop year. The budgets can be used to determine if you are a low-cost producer based on the average costs for your specific crop.
