Until now, techniques for analyzing machinery replacement decisions have not kept pace with the technology of machinery design and development. While machinery design improves almost annually, information to provide a similar level of technology for replacement decisions has been almost nonexistent...until now. This book is designed to bring together two important aspects of a machinery replacement decision. First, it offers a βreal worldβ comparative cost analysis of machinery replacement alternatives: repair and keep using your present machine; trade for a new machine; trade for a used machine; rent or lease a machine; or use a custom operator. It allows an owner to determine the best time to trade, or consider the size and number of machines to own. The comparative analysis is based on βnet unit costβ (i.e., cost βper acreβ or cost βper hourβ of use). Net unit cost simulates your cash flow over a specified period of time. It includes such important considerations as income tax credit and timeliness costs. Second, it develops an analysis of your financial situation to help determine the feasibility of each alternative. The financial analysis includes consideration of new family income; cash flows; debt obligations; and machinery loans. References are provided throughout the book and in the appendix that helps you adept depreciation, repairs, and timeliness costs that apply to your own situation. The final product is the selection of the best alternative that can be financially supported from your farm income. Its own software for computer users supports this book. You can even print the results in a format that will support a loan application to finance replacing or repairing your equipment.

Now for the first time, raising livestock is examined not just from the production side, but from the management side. This books strong point is its integration of the major aspects of livestock management under one cover: production, finance, economics, and marketing in one clear and thorough book. Agriculture is the foundation upon which society survives, because it satisfies peoples needs for food, clothing, and shelter. Agriculture touches upon many subjects, including crop and animal production, economics, farm management and international trade. The American agricultural system has been the crowning success and envy of the world. At the same time, U.S. farmers are faced with shrinking markets, greater global competition, and a host of other economic factors over which they have no control. Marketing, risk management, cost reduction, and finance are becoming dominant factors in successful agribusinesses. Within the American agricultural system livestock production is significant in terms of consumer demand and economic activity. However, livestock producers no longer can afford to focus only on production. Producers who manage livestock operations must also be concerned with credit, finance, economics, and marketing. This book addresses the beef, hog, and sheep components of the livestock industry. Not only are production methods described, but also processing and distribution, marketing, risk management, and cost reduction issues are examined. These issues introduce the pricing mechanism and the affect on profits of many diverse factors. Our goal is to help you succeed in a highly competitive, highly volatile marketplace.

Managing Price Risk in Ag Commodity Markets is the definitive guide to risk management in today?s volatile agricultural markets. As we move toward the end of the decade and prepare for the 21st century, American farmers face a most uncertain marketplace. Unprecedented changes in farm policy and New World trade agreements are two of the more important reasons why change is assured. It will take a different set of management skills to be profitable in the new marketplace. If it was ever enough to be just an excellent producer, that time is past. The big challenge facing farmers now and in the future is to respond to and manage the risk associated with highly volatile prices. We can help you prepare for that challenge. This book will help farmers like you develop the ability to cope in an uncertain marketplace. It looks at marketing skills and savvy, and develops management strategies that can be used to ensure and protect profitability. Managing Price Risk in Ag Commodity Markets starts with a look at some of the major forces that are changing the marketplace. Then it demonstrates what price risk is and deals with why it is important to you, to the agribusiness firms from whom you buy inputs mean, and to the processors to whom you sell your commodities. Two broad considerations are kept to the ?how? and ?why? of the changing world marketplace. They are responsible for the increased price volatility and risk to American farmers. The first consideration is the 1996 Farm Bill, which changed farm policy in a dramatic way. The second goes back several years and deals with two very important trade agreements: the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade (GATT). These two important trade accords expose the American farmer to any and all of the forces that can bring uncertainty to commodity supplies and price variability around the world. The marketplace has indeed changed!
