Other Crop Assumptions

This page enables users to calculate net revenue from growing crops other than cane on fallow blocks.

Information for area for Other Crops Year 1 and Other Crops Year 2 (if applicable) will have to be already added to enable this page.

Add a crop

1. Click the "Add Crop" button for Year 1 or Year 2 to calculate net revenue for a fallow crop.
2. Give the crop a name.
3. Enter the crop number. A number of 0 is the first crop in sequence, number of 1 is second crop in sequence etc.
4. Choose the crop type of either legumes, peanuts, or other crop.

Legume Crops

1. Legume crop name and/or short description (e.g. Soybeans - Summer A).
2. Fallow Year 1 or Fallow Year 2. Users should select Fallow Year 1 if they grow a legume crop on a fallow block when the block is fallowed for less than 12 months. Furthermore, users should select Fallow Year 1 if they grow a legume crop on a fallow block that is left to fallow up to 2 years when the legume crop is grown in the first 12 months of the fallow’s length. Alternatively, users should select Fallow Year 2 if the legume crop is grown in the fallow’s 2nd year.
3. The area planted with legumes (e.g. 25 hectares).
4. The price received by the grower from sale of the legume crop (e.g. $500/tonne). If the crop is used for green manure then $0 should be entered.
5. Freight costs ($/t, wet and dirty) to the grain merchant for drying/cleaning.
6. Transport costs ($/t, clean and dry) to the depot (e.g. $25/tonne).
7. Levies, if applicable (e.g. 2% of market price).
8. Yield wet and dirty (t/ha).
9. Payment yield (t/ha).
