Examples to Accompany Worksheets for Calculating Breakeven Bids for the Milk Production Termination Program
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an example of how to use the worksheets described in A.E. Ext. 86-6 "Worksheets for Calculating Breakeven Bids for the Milk Production Termination Program". Farm information for I. May Bidd is on the next page. A breakeven bid is calculated for each of the three situations, described in detail in the aforementioned bulletin. Briefly, the three situations differ with respect to whether the dairy farmer plans to leave dairy production soon regardless of MPTP and whether or not he plans to return to milk production at the end of MPTP. The same basic data will be used for all three situations but we have changed I. May Bidd's name to fit the situation.
