Every break-even on this account came out of Hank Yoder's own books and is current. That is the strongest footing a marketing plan can have: the cost side is measured rather than remembered, so the margins on the other tabs mean what they say.

A break-even is an estimate, so pricing exactly at one is pricing at the midpoint of an error bar.

The desk treats a break-even older than 6 months as not trusted, because six months spans a planting-to-harvest change in fertilizer, fuel and cash rent. A February break-even used to justify an August sale is a different farm's numbers.

Cost per acre is the cost of the crop divided by planted acres, so it moves with yield as well as with cost. A good year lowers the cost per bushel without a single input getting cheaper, which is the part clients find hardest to believe and the reason the plan is written in dollars per bushel.
