The Livestock Budget Estimator tool for Swine producers is designed to assist with budget planning for your pork operation.

Also available within the tool are comparisons to other swine farms based on financial data obtained from the FINBIN database. FINBIN is one of the largest and most accessible sources of farm financial and production benchmark information. These farm financials provide an opportunity to determine similarities, areas of strength, and potential areas of improvement for your farm business.
