Pricing for Profit
In general, products can be priced in three ways; customers, competition, or costs. If pricing is below the cost to produce and market the product, the farming operation will not be sustainable without a continual flow of dollars from an outside source. This publication and the associated Decision Tool can be used in determining product prices for a wide range of activities.
