Crop Budgets, Vol. 5: Yields, Inputs, and Variable Costs; South Central Region This report is one of a set presenting estimates of variable costs of producing major cr0ps in different regions of the United States. Regions, in addition to the South Central region, include the Southeast, North Central, Great Plains, Southwest, and Northwest (fig. These budgets were developed by the Farm Production Economics Division of the Economic Research Service specifically for use in its Aggregate Production Analysis System Similar assumptions and methodology were used in estimating the data in all six regions. Consequently, the budgets provide compara ble estimates of crop yields and variable production costs both within and among the major crop-producing areas of the United States. These reports are primarily for the use of other analysts and researchers; the budgets include only variable costs and are not intended to represent total production costs. Input items in the budgets are expressed in both physical and monetary terms. Thus, when appropriate, physical levels, price levels, or both can be adjusted to reflect up-to-date information. The budgets are a key data input to apas and are adjusted as new information or circumstances require. Research ers using the budgets should incorporate chang'es to reflect adequately the explicit situation they desire to represent.
