Breakeven

What a bushel has to bring, by field

What is this?

Enter your per-acre costs once per field per crop year and see what a bushel has to bring, the yield that breaks even, and what the field makes at today's board price.

Where the numbers come from

Breakeven $/bu = total budgeted $/ac ÷ expected yield (your budget's override, or the field's target yield). Profit projections use CME front-month futures, refreshed live. The what-if sliders re-run the same math at different prices and yields — nothing is estimated by AI.

Ten cost categories

Seed, fertilizer, chemicals, fuel/machinery, insurance, land rent, drying/storage, labor, interest, other — matching how most lenders want a crop budget presented.

Feeds

Breakevens show up on Today, in the weekly digest, and behind Ask — so "is this price any good for me?" always has your real number behind it.

Nothing here is financial, agronomic, or legal advice. The deterministic tools (breakevens, marketing math, harvest shrink) are exact arithmetic on your numbers. The AI features interpret, and they never save anything without your confirmation.
