This spreadsheet can be used along with the Purdue Crop Cost & Return Guide to examine gross revenue, costs, and earnings for crop enterprises.  The user can evaluate up to three full-season crops, and the wheat double-crop soybean system.  Gross revenue, cost, and net returns are evaluated on a per acre and per unit basis.  Breakeven prices to cover variable and total cost are computed for each crop.
