BUSINESS PLAN FOR 200 HYBRID LAYERS
Creating a budget can be a valuable experience not only for people who are raising poultry for profit, but also those who are raising poultry as a hobby. No matter what your scale, knowing your costs and potential income will be valuable tools in making future decisions.
Why create a budget?
Use of a budget has several benefits.
One is that it enables us to create simulations to show potential scenarios and outcomes of the poultry enterprise. This is cheaper to do on paper with a budget than after you already have birds at home, allowing you to use the budget to create a roadmap for your production.
Focusing and refining your production plan to identify potential hidden costs that may have otherwise been forgotten until it is too late.
Use of a budget also enables you to put your plans into fileable form that you can reference later to identify the areas where you may have over or underestimated costs or income.
Perhaps most importantly, utilizing an enterprise budget will enable you to know your costs of production. If you do not know your costs of production, it is impossible to know what price you need to charge for your product. Just because your neighbor is selling a product at a certain price does not guarantee that you will be profitable at the same price.
