Probably not, I was just thinking while reading the Profit monitor thread the other day that it would be very easy to skew the results, also 12 months is far too short to be looking at anything in Farming. It wouldn't provide me with much information as I just work between animal to animal (beef cattle) and I know my daily costs per animal pretty veraciously.

Having spent many years studying how important accounts and budgets are I should be ashamed Farmers that dont complete the Profit monitor should be prohibited from commenting on this site!!

P.M. is all historical and has many faults, however it's a great place to start your 5 year plan from.
If it does nothing else it helps to concentrate the mind but as much as it pains me to say "I agree with you". I have copyright on that phrase therefore you may not use it agsinst me in future:D

Doing it ten years now, one of the reasons that the sucklers went off this farm.
It's one of the requirements of Stap, and they're hoping we'll show an improvement in our figures over the three years.......won't be hard if we use 2012 as our base year....an expensive year
