Sample Asparagus Production Budget for Kentucky
CCD-BG-1: Sample Asparagus Production Budget for Kentucky
Authored by: Matthew Ernst
Abstract
Asparagus is a popular, early-season crop that can aid a diversified vegetable producer's cash flow during the first part of Kentucky's harvest season. Once established, properly managed asparagus plantings can produce for many years. According to these sample budgets, an acre of asparagus marketed at $1.75 per pound will return the costs of establishment in the second year of full production (third year after planting). Following that year, properly managed asparagus can return in the $1200 to $1500 range to land, labor, and management.
