Resumo: | With increasingly thin margins and new technologies, it is important that farm managers know their cost of field operations on a per unit basis (e.g., acre, ton, bale).  Accurate per unit costs give confidence when constructing enterprise budgets and evaluating new technologies, such as no-till.  Custom rates are often used as a proxy for per unit costs; however, this research, using entropy and jackknife estimation procedures, found that custom rates understate total ownership and operating costs by approximately 25% for an average Kansas farm.  Estimates from these models are then used to benchmark actual costs against expected cost.
