Forage Budgets And Risk
This page is dedicated to economics and risk of forage production. Forage production is a primary source of grazing and hay for livestock producers in Mississippi. Proper forage management and planning can often be the difference between livestock producers being profitable or not. With over 900,000 cattle and calves (NASS, 2019) in Mississippi, the need to provide updated forage information for decision making is important. The page below includes enterprise budgets for various forage crops updated annually and videos and publications concerning the economics of forage production with ways to manage the risks associated with production.
