North Dakota State University Extension has updated the Crop Compare program, which is a spreadsheet designed to compare cropping alternatives.
The Crop Compare program is available online at ndsu.ag/cropcompare.
The program uses the direct costs and yields from the 2024 projected crop budgets for nine regions of North Dakota, but producers are encouraged to enter the expected yields and input costs for their farm.
The user designates a reference crop and enters its expected market price. Depending on the region, a broad selection of nine to 18 crops are compared. The program provides the prices for competing crops that would be necessary to provide the same return over variable costs as the reference crop.
