Data Entry Booklet All Enterprises

Welcome to CropBench+

This booklet contains a set of tables that we would like you to complete in advance of your data collection visit. If there are items that you are not sure about, do not worry. You can leave these blank and we will assist you with them during the visit.

Each table relates to a particular aspect of your farm that we need to describe in order for us to complete the benchmarking process. If you can fill in as many of the tables as possible, this will help to reduce the length of the data collection visit.

If you would like to benchmark more than 6 crop enterprises, please ensure pages 11 and 12 are completed.

If you have any questions about the booklet please call the Farm Economics Administrator, on 024 7647 8708.
