Abstract

"Using this planning budget, farmers growing alfalfa can estimate their costs and returns in 2026. Detailed alfalfa establishment costs are found in MU Extension publication G661, Alfalfa Establishment Planning Budget (extension.missouri.edu/publications/g661). Table 1 presents estimates for established conventional alfalfa that is baled into small square or large round bales. Assumptions were based on price forecasts as of October 2025. Detailed prices and practices are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. The production practices used to develop these cost estimates are common on Missouri farms. Farmers can modify this budget based on their circumstances. Use the "Your estimate" column to plan your operation's costs and returns for 2026." -- first page
