• Farm budgets create estimates for the cost and quantity of labor, equipment, and the date that the resource will be consumed or applied
• Easily detect when farm budgets have been missed, and take corrective action quickly to protect cash flow position
• Compare actual farm costs with estimated farming costs at any time in real time using live budget data
• Analyze farm budget figures (estimated) and actual figures grouped by land, produce, farm, site, produce type, or variety; or any combination of those selections
• Use estimated quantities of materials to assist with the creation of purchase orders and JIT supply from materials providers

• Define farm labor costs for each type of labor rate and pay rate
• Define hourly, or ‘per running unit’ cost for equipment and plant or machinery
• Define actual cost of materials via the purchase order record, or for those farms who do not wish to enter purchase orders, the standard cost of a material can be applied to the “part”, in this situation the purchase order is not necessary and farm managers can easily change materials costs over time without effecting historical budgeting data
• Use estimated quantities of labor to assist with the planning of human resources
• Create budgets before planting, to perform “What If” analysis, then undo the “What If” plantings if they will not be implemented
