2014 Annual Report Overview Farm Business Management Education has been a part of agricultural education programs in Minnesota since 1953. FBM Programs are now an integral part of the Minnesota State Colleges and University System, delivered through eight two-year colleges. In 2014, the Northern Minnesota Annual Report is being printed for the first time. The eleven year partnership between Northland Community & Technical College and Central Lakes College Farm Business Management Programs has been expanded to include Alexandria Technical & Community College, Ridgewater College, and St. Cloud Technical & Community College. A complete list of Instructors who have students with data in this report is found on the inside of the front cover. This report and two (2) other regional reports include statewide data for each of the livestock enterprises. Regional livestock enterprise information can be obtained from each of the colleges that offer Farm Business Management, or a Farm Business Management Instructor from that college. Other colleges with Farm Business Management Programs include: Minnesota West Community & Technical College, Riverland Community & Technical College, and South Central College. In 2014, the Northern Minnesota Annual Report includes data from 566 farms. The Minnesota State FBM Program database includes data from 2047 farms.

Explanation of Data Processing and Report Format This report was prepared under the direction of Ron Dvergsten and DelRay Lecy through AgCentric, Northern Center of Excellence for Agriculture. A special thank you goes to Rosemary Gustafson, Northland Community & Technical College, for her assistance. The tables in this report were created using FINPACK and RankEm Central, copyrighted software of the Center for Farm Financial Management, University of Minnesota. The financial portion of the report, found in the first 26 pages, uses a standard format for each of the tables. Data from the analysis system is printed in a four column format, which includes: Average, Low, Middle, & High. The High, Middle, & Low ranges are calculated based on a 20% slice of the farms in the total group. The enterprise tables begin on page 30. Each of these tables consist of: a size indicator, a total and per unit income, direct & overhead expenses, and other information. Costs which are considered operating, whether easily assigned or are allocated, are listed as Direct Expenses. Costs which are general in nature, whether fixed or variable, are listed as Overhead Expenses. The criteria for determining the 20% categories in each area are listed below: Analysis Section Financial Crops Livestock

Criteria to determine the "20%" categories Net Farm Income Return to Overhead Return to Overhead

Financial Guideline Measures The Farm Financial Standards Task Force recommended the use of these financial measures to evaluate a farm’s financial position and financial performance. These measures are grouped by: Liquidity, Solvency, Profitability, Repayment Capacity, and Efficiency.

Liquidity Liquidity is the ability of the farm business to meet financial obligations in a timely manner, without disrupting normal business operations. Current Ratio: The current ratio shows the value of current assets relative to current liabilities. It measures the extent current farm assets, if liquidated, would cover liabilities that are due during the next 12 months. The higher the ratio, the safer the short term position. Working Capital: Working capital shows the dollar amount that current assets can or cannot cover current liabilities. It approximates the amount of capital available to purchase crop and livestock inputs and equipment necessary to produce farm products. The amount of working capital considered adequate must be related to the size of the farm business. Working Capital to Gross Revenues: Measures operating capital available against the size of the business.

Solvency Solvency is important in evaluating the risk position of the farm and family and in considering future borrowing capacity. Solvency measures the ability of the business to pay off all debts if liquidated. Farm Debt To Asset Ratio: The farm debt to asset ratio measures the financial position or solvency of the farm or ranch by comparing the total liabilities to the total assets. It measures the portion of the farm assets that have debt against them. A higher ratio is considered an indicator of greater financial risk. Farm Equity To Asset Ratio: The farm equity to asset ratio measures the farm equity relative to the value of the farm assets. It measures the proportion of the farm assets financed by the owner’s equity whereas the debt to asset ratio measured the proportion of farm assets financed by debt. Farm Debt To Equity Ratio: The farm debt to equity ratio measures the amount of farm debt relative to the amount of farm equity. It measures the amount of debt the farm has for every dollar of equity.

Profitability Profitability is the measure of the value of goods produced by the business in relation to the cost of resources used in the production. Profitability calculated on a cost basis does not consider changes in market valuation of capital assets such as machinery and breeding livestock. Rate of Return on Assets: Rate of return on assets is, in effect, the interest rate your farm earned in the past year on all money invested in the business. If assets are valued at market value, the rate of return on investment can be looked at as the “opportunity cost” of investing money in the farm instead of alternative investments. If assets are valued at cost (cost less depreciation), the rate of return represents the actual return on the average dollar invested in the business. Rate of Return on Equity: Rate of return on equity is, in effect, the interest rate your investment in the business earned in the past year. If assets are valued at market value, this return can be compared with returns available if the assets were liquidated and invested in alternative investments. If assets are valued at cost, this represents the actual return to the amount of equity capital you have invested in the farm business. If your return on assets is higher than your average interest rate, your return on equity will be still higher, reflecting the fact that there are residual returns to equity capital after paying all interest expense. This is positive use of financial leverage. If your return on assets is lower than your average interest rate, your return on equity will be still lower, reflecting the fact that borrowed capital did not earn enough to pay its interest cost. This is negative financial leverage. Profitability becomes a key concern when substantial debt capital is used in the business. 2014 Northern Minnesota Annual Report

Financial Guideline Measures Net Farm Income: Net farm income represents the returns to labor, management, and equity capital invested in the business. Without income from other sources, or appreciation of capital asset values, net farm income must cover family living expenses and taxes, or net worth will decrease. Operating Profit Margin: The operating profit margin is a measure of the profit margin from the employment of assets. It measures how effectively you are employing assets relative to the value of output produced. Low prices, high operating expenses, or production problems are all possible causes of a low operating profit margin. EBITDA: This factor stands for: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. This represents a measure of earnings available for debt repayment.

Repayment Capacity Repayment capacity shows the borrower’s ability to repay term debts (longer than one year) on time. This includes non-farm income, and is therefore not a measure of business performance alone. Capital Debt Repayment Capacity: Measures the amount generated from farm and non-farm sources, to cover debt repayment and capital replacement. Capital Debt Repayment Margin: The amount of money remaining after all operating expenses, taxes, family living costs, and scheduled debt payments have been made. It is the money left, after paying all expenses, which is available for purchasing/financing new machinery, equipment, land or livestock. Replacement Margin: The replacement margin is the amount of income remaining after paying principal and interest on term loans and unfunded (cash) capital purchases. Term Debt Coverage Ratio: The term debt coverage ratio measures the ability of the business to cover all term debt payments. A number less than 100 percent indicates that the business, plus non-farm income, is not generating sufficient cash to meet all of the debt payments, after family living expenses and taxes have been paid. A number greater than 100 indicates the business is generating sufficient cash to pay all term debt obligations with some surplus margin remaining. Replacement Margin Coverage Ratio: This represents the ability to term debt and unfunded capital purchases. A ratio under 1.0 indicated that you did not generate enough income to cover term debt payments and unfunded capital purchases.

Efficiency These measures reflect the relationships between expense and income items to revenue and the efficiency of the farm business with regard to the use of cash and capital assets. Asset Turnover: Asset turnover is a measure of how efficiently assets are used in the business. A farm with good operating profit margin and asset turnover will show a strong rate of return on farm assets. If operating profit margin is low, the asset turnover rate must be strong, or vice versa, to maintain the rate of return on assets. Operating Expense Ratio: This ratio indicates the percent of the gross farm income, which is used to pay the operating expenses. Operating expenses do not include interest or depreciation expense. Depreciation Expense Ratio: This ratio indicates the percent of the gross farm income, which is used to cover the depreciation expense. Interest Expense Ratio: This ratio indicates the percent of the gross farm income, which is used to pay farm interest expenses. Net Farm Income Ratio: The ratio indicates the percent of the gross farm income, which remains after all expenses. 2014 Northern Minnesota Annual Report

Individual Enterprise Analysis Tables The individual crop and livestock tables are designed to identify the costs and returns for specific enterprises on the farm. Data from all farmers with each enterprise is merged. The minimum number of farms, in order to print a given column on the following reports, is five (5). This enables the necessary level of confidentiality for publication of this information. Crop report costs such as fertilizer, chemicals, seed, crop drying expenses, hired labor, and custom hire are costs that are assigned to each individual crop. These costs are shown in the crop enterprise analysis as Direct Costs. Other costs, called Overhead Costs, are divided out by formula. Overhead costs are assigned by an allocation factor to each enterprise. The allocation factor is based on historical data of labor and capital intensity. There are a couple of subtle differences between the Owned Land and Cash Rented Land tables. Naturally, on cash rented land, the actual cost of renting the land is reported in the direct cost section. On the owned land, there are two different lines of information in the overhead cost section that would be included for calculating cost of ownership: real-estate taxes and interest on long-term debt. The livestock reports have a format similar to the crop reports. Production information is listed at the top of each table. This will include animal or product sales, purchases, sales, transfers, and inventory change. The Direct Costs include costs that are assigned to the enterprise, including items such as: feed, veterinary, breeding, marketing, hired labor, fuel & repairs, and livestock supplies. The Overhead Costs include formula-assigned costs, including items such as: depreciation, interest, utilities, and insurances. At the bottom of each livestock report, there is a list of selected factors for each enterprise. These factors are a combination of production indicators and efficiency indicators. Towards the bottom of both the crop and livestock enterprise tables, are four (4) factors that show varying levels of Cost of Production. Those factors include a cost of production based on: direct costs, overhead & direct costs, total cost less government payments and/or other revenue, and total cost including labor & management.

Machinery Cost per Acre is a factor used to combine all costs related to machinery usage. The Machinery Cost per Acre includes: Fuel & Oil, Repairs, Custom hire, Machinery leases, Interest on machinery debt, and Machinery depreciation. A machinery cost summary for five prominent Northern Minnesota crops is listed below. Data is taken from the owned land enterprise tables. Crop Alfalfa Hay Corn Corn Silage Soybeans Spring Wheat
