What is this page?
This page is a summary of gross margin information based on information entered on the Other Crop Assumptions, Other Crops Growing Costs and Scenario Assumptions pages.
This page displays all other crops and no entry of information is required.

Economic Theory
Gross Margin
Gross margins are calculated by subtracting variable costs from gross income. Comparing the gross margins of different fallow crops is informative and helps you to make fallow crops choices that enhance whole-of-farm profitability.
If you were only aiming to develop a gross margin then you can skip to the Farm Performance Indicators page.
Operating Return
If growers are evaluating the profitability of growing fallow crops they have not grown before then they would need to consider any changes in fixed costs that might occur and/or any required capital expenditures on new equipment. If so, a comparison of operating return would be a more precise indicator of relative profitability, which would require completion of the Assets, Depreciation and Fixed Costs pages. Operating return is displayed on the Profit page.
