1 of 1 break-evens did not come from this family's books. The plans built on them are sound and the numbers under them are what somebody remembered, so the confidence in every margin on the other tabs is capped by that. Worth saying out loud to Wade Klein rather than leaving implied.

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

Cost of production, by crop
| Crop | Break-even | Source | As of | Expected | Cost of the crop | Cash bid over cost | Trusted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat new crop · 859 acres at 60 bu | $5.74 | Stated on a call | Feb 9, 2026 6 months old | 52k bu | $295,840 $344/acre | -$0.05 bid $5.69 | With a caveat |
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.
