In this workshop, Tanya Murray from Oregon Tilth will cover the basics of how to account for crop-specific costs of production and how cost information can be used for decision-making.

Workshop participants will do a simple costing exercise to estimate the costs of production for a sample crop. We’ll look at how making changes to price, yield and production methods can change the amount that a crop contributes to profit. We’ll also talk about strategies for doing the record-keeping that you’ll need to calculate your costs. Farmers that want to take a deeper dive into costs of production analysis will be introduced to the Know Your Costs to Grow program and learn how you can participate starting in 2020.
