Know which fields made money, and why.
Margin per acre for every field, the breakeven price for every crop, and a straight answer to what changes if the price drops or you add a pass.
Margin by field
The farm average hides your weakest quarter.
A strong potato year can cover for a dryland quarter that lost money. Farmly ranks every field by margin per acre, so you can see which ones earned their keep and which ones need a different plan next year.

Breakeven
Know the price that covers your costs before you sign.
Breakeven is your cost per acre divided by your yield. Farmly works it out per bushel or per tonne for every field, and updates it as actual costs come in. When a contract offer or a grain bid lands, you already know whether it pays.
NW-23 · PROCESSING POTATOES
$4,960/ac ÷ 22.0 t/ac
$225/t
Contract pays $262/t, so every tonne carries $37 of margin.
SE-14 · CWRS WHEAT
$548/ac ÷ 95 bu/ac
$5.77/bu
Any bid above $5.77 is margin on this quarter.
Plan versus actual
See where the margin went, line by line.
Your winter plan sits next to what actually happened. Every line shows the gap per acre, so a replant or an extra spray pass shows up in the numbers the week it happens, not at year-end.

What if
Test next year on your own costs.
Before you book inputs or sign a contract, try the change on one field and see where margin and breakeven land. Price, an extra pass, a lighter yield: each one is a click, not a new spreadsheet.
