Margins Finally Made Sense
This template made our margins and break-even point easy to see, so I stopped guessing at profitability. It saved me about 6 hours of manual work and gave me a cleaner number to share with our lender.

I used to spend forever rebuilding low, base, and high cases by hand. With this model, I tested all three in one afternoon and got a planning call booked the same day.
The cash-flow view made runway and shortfalls easy to track month by month, which took a lot of stress out of planning. It helped me spot a gap early and saved me from a last-minute scramble.
The modified workbook combines cropland, yield, harvest time, prices, monthly planning, scenarios and basic financial statements on the forecasting of sustainable agriculture.
Use the model to translate the crop plan into income, costs, cash flow and financial forecasts when testing alternative operational cases.
Editable assumptions form the basis for a schedule of income from crops and operational modules which in turn flow to comparisons of scenarios, views from the navigation desk and financial statements.
The revenue starts with the agricultural land allocated by the crops, converts harvest and yield frequencies into products for sale and then applies crop prices and any delays during the sales cycle.
Total area cultivated in quantities multiplied by a percentage of the useful area of each crop.
Count the months of harvest to determine the harvest of each crop per year.
The area of crops is multiplied by the yields per surface per harvest and the number of harvests.
Apply the loss of yield and then postpone the recognition of sales by any identified delay in the sales cycle.
Multiplication of net yields by crop prices and by category of total yields in relation to total income.
The revenue view is organised by the area of cultivation, allocation of crops, yields, harvest time, loss of yields, selling time and selling prices in one operational schedule.
REVENUE
View COGS & OPEX separates direct production costs, variable costs and fixed operating costs from assumptions on timetable and forecast.
COGS & OPEX
The scenario view compares low, base and high cases in different periods of forecasted revenues, margins, premium premiums and EBITDA.
SCENARIOS
The navigation desk combines model control with a mix of revenue, profitability, cash flow, scenario results, key indicators and return on investment charts for management review.
DASHBOARD
The model is suitable for land-based crops, crops, harvests, losses, time and price factors; different revenue structures may require custom modelling.
The template is the starting point of planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The Financial Models Laboratory can build or adjust a model when you need different revenue logic, operational schedules or financial reporting structures.

The basic answers are visible in their entirety, without clicking on the accordion.
It allocates the cropland by crop, uses harvest and yield frequency, deducts the loss of yields and then multiplys sales by the selling price. Any changes given during the change in sales time and changes in recognition time without changing physical performance.
The area may be changed, the allocation of land, yields per area per harvest, month of harvest, loss of yield, time of sale and selling prices per crop and year.
The scenario compared alternative revenue, gross margin, premium premium and EBITDA during the projection periods.
The workbook contains a statement of income, a statement of cash flows, a balance sheet, a financial summary, a navigation desk and additional analytical reports.
Yes. Financial Models Lab offers custom financial modelling for buyers who need different revenue logic, operating schedules or reporting structures.
This is a financial planning forecast based on the assumptions you are making, not a guarantee of operating or financial performance.
