Developing an operating budget can help keep your tomato operation profitable. Refer to the sample budgets in this section to get started.
N.C. State University has developed and compiled sample operating budgets to guide North Carolina tomato growers in tracking, maintaining and managing their business costs. The documents provided below help estimate the operating expenses associated with the production, harvest and marketing for commercial tomato operations. Costs can vary greatly depending on the operation.
Extension agents and growers are able to estimate production costs and returns by entering cost estimates into these sample budgets. The budgets are separated by eastern and western North Carolina due to the differing growing conditions and associated production costs for growers in each region.
Contact your local N.C. Cooperative Extension Agent with questions or to request more information regarding North Carolina tomatoes.
