This annual Crop Budget Planning is tailored to specific soil zones and covers a broad range of dryland and irrigated crops and forages. It includes estimated costs and returns for the 2024 growing season, which can be customized to reflect the unique production, pricing and cost factors of individual farming operations.

This initiative is part of Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation's ongoing commitment to providing decision-making tools that address both profitability and risk management within the crops industry.
