The 2025 Projected Sugarcane Farm Costs and Returns Model was developed to assist sugarcane producers in planning for the 2025 crop year. The model is an Excel spreadsheet which allows sugarcane producers to enter projected sugarcane acreage of plant cane, first stubble, second stubble, and third stubble; associated projected yield levels per acre (tons); raw sugar and molasses price for the new crop year; and production cost data for 2025 to estimate net returns above variable and total production costs and to easily evaluate the impact of changing sugarcane yields, input prices, and input application rates on net returns per acre.
