Alfalfa baleage planning budget

"Using this planning budget, farmers growing alfalfa for baleage can estimate their costs and returns for 2022. Establishment costs for alfalfa can be found in MU Extension publication, G661, Alfalfa Establishment Planning Budget (https://extension.missouri.edu/g661). Table 1 presents estimates for established alfalfa baleage production in Missouri. Assumptions were based on price forecasts as of October 2021. Detailed prices and practices are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. The production practices used to develop this budget are common in Missouri. Use the "Your estimate" column to plan your operation's costs and returns for 2022."--First page.Written by Raymond Massey (Professor, Agricultural Business and Policy Extension)New 10/2018; Revised 10/202
