Northwest Cost of Production Calculator
The Northwest
Grapes Cost-Of-Production Calculator is an online resource for
Washington, Oregon and Idaho wine and juice grape growers to
automatically calculate the costs of producing grapes. The
calculators, modeled after existing tree fruit calculators with
input from growers in all three states, allow growers to enter
their own cost figures into the calculator, and automatically
calculate their costs of producing grapes. If a grower does not
know his specific costs, the calculators are pre-set with industry
average figures.
There are sixteen calculators: four calculator types and four
production years.
- Wine grapes conventional
- Wine grapes organic
- Juice grapes conventional
- Juice grapes organic
Each calculator has four production years to choose from - year
1: Establishment, year 2, year 3 and years 4+, so growers can
calculate the costs for an individual year, all production years or
forecast costs until full yield. The results can be printed out and
saved to a computer.
