2023 Cotton Harvest Decision Budget (XLS)<\/strong>.\u00a0 Click on this link to download the spreadsheet (see Figure 1).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2023\/10\/10.6.1.png\")
<\/p>\n
In the spreadsheet you will see two sections.\u00a0 The top section is the budget tool that you will use to evaluate the potential profitability of harvesting low-yielding cotton.\u00a0 In this section, you will input the information that the tool needs into the blue<\/em> cells (see Figure 2 below). \u00a0Once you input your information into the tool, the budget will calculate the net income or loss that you can expect from harvesting cotton both for your entire operation and on a per-acre basis.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2023\/10\/10.6.2.png\")
<\/p>\n
An Example Scenario<\/h1>\n
Now, let\u2019s look at an example scenario to see how this tool works.\u00a0 For this example, assume that I have 100 acres of low-yielding cotton that I am trying to decide whether to harvest.\u00a0 I believe that these acres will yield about 30 lbs. of lint per acre and I am pretty sure that I can get a price of $0.75\/lb. of lint and $250\/ton of cottonseed from this cotton.<\/p>\n
To use the tool, I would enter 100 into the blue cell at the top of the budget (Figure 3).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2023\/10\/10.6.3.png\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then, in the left-hand side of the tool (titled Returns<\/em>) I input my assumptions about lint yield, lint price, and cotton seed price (Figure 4).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2023\/10\/10.6.4.png\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, in the right-hand side of the spreadsheet (titled Costs<\/em>) I input my assumptions about harvest costs (Figure 5).\u00a0 For this example, I\u2019m using the tool\u2019s default costs assumptions; however, you would need to adjust these assumptions to reflect the costs that you will face.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2023\/10\/10.6.5.png\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Based on the information that I input into the decision tool, the budget estimates that I will incur a loss of $441.50, or $4.42\/acre, if I attempt to harvest this cotton (Figure 6); therefore, I will choose not to harvest these acres.\u00a0 If the budget calculates a positive net income, then it makes sense to harvest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Sensitivity Analysis<\/h1>\n
So, at what price would it make economic sense to harvest a field that yields 30 lbs.\/acre?\u00a0 Or, if I can get a price of $0.75\/lb., how much cotton does a field need to yield to make harvesting it profitable?\u00a0 To answer this question, you can use the bottom section of the decision tool.\u00a0 This part of the tool gives you the expected net income or loss per acre for a variety of price and yield combinations, based on the cost data that you have entered into the budget form.\u00a0 For example, if I look at the column for $0.75 in this table, I see that harvesting cotton results in a loss at yields from 0 to 30 lbs., and a profit when yield is at least 40 lbs.\/acre (Figure 7).\u00a0 If I look at the row for 30 lbs., I see that harvesting becomes profitable at prices above $0.90\/lb. (Figure 8).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2023\/10\/10.6.8.png\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can use this table to help you evaluate the riskiness of the harvest\/don\u2019t harvest decision.\u00a0 If the budget calculates a net income from harvest that is close to $0, then you might need to consider how likely you are to realize a lower-than-expected price or yield that makes harvesting unprofitable.<\/p>\n
Some Final Thoughts<\/h1>\n
As you use this tool, keep the following two things in mind.\u00a0 First, be realistic about the quality of the cotton you harvest from low-yielding fields and the price you can expect to receive for this cotton.\u00a0 If the cotton in these fields is of low quality, you will most likely receive a discount on the price when you sell it.\u00a0 Make sure to account for that price discount as you use this tool.\u00a0 Second, remember that this budget only accounts for the cash costs associated with harvest.\u00a0 Your time and effort have value and, once you account for that value, you may find that harvesting low-yielding fields is not worth your time, even if this tool predicts a positive net income.<\/p>\n
