Land Purchase & Machinery Analysis

Run the numbers before you sit down with your lender or financial advisor.
Land Purchase Analysis
Buy vs rent comparison with your financing, breakeven corn price and yield, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, net farming income, year-1 principal, and price per tillable CSR2 point. Uses tillable acres for revenue and total acres for tax.
Land Portfolio & Debt Load
All your farms in one place. Enter up to 8 farms with loan details, and the new farm pulls from the Land Purchase tab. Before & After shows what adding it does to your total debt, debt-to-value, and payment per tillable acre. Plus each farm's payment and property tax next to market rent, the new farm's cash flow per acre, and payment scenarios at 8 down payment levels.
Machinery Decision
Keep, replace, or custom hire. Annual cost of owning each machine: repairs, fuel, capital recovery (depreciation plus interest), insurance and housing, and labor, next to the custom rate. Names the lowest annual cost at your figures.
