Farm Income Simulation • Grain farm with 1,200 acres • 2/3 corn, 1/3 soybeans • 187 corn yield ($4.60), 56 bu soybean yield ($11) • Tenure • Owned 120 acres (10%) • Share rent – 360 acres (30%) • Fixed cash rent – 720 acre (60%) • $260 per acre acre cash rent • $500,000 debt • Costs in 2013 budgets

  17. Reduce Capital Costs • As a percent of total investment, average cash flows are relatively constant • When returns decline need to reduce outflows • Perhaps biggest key to avoiding financial stress • Cash flow likely will lag income changes Cash Flows as a % of Gross Revenue (by year)

  21. Question for Some Farms Some farms have most farms near average cash rents and some at high cash rents How long will high cash rent farmland be subsidized by other farmland?
