Operation Hundredfold · For Iowa & Midwest corn and soybean farms

Know your numbers.
Grow your operation.

Hundredfold connects your crop budget, your cash rent and today's grain bids, so you know your break-even and every decision shows up in dollars for your farm. Use it every week, not just at budget time. It doesn't promise to predict the market.

How it works

One number connects everything: your break-even.

Start here

Farm Setup

Enter your acres, annual bills, land costs and loan payments once. Every calculator uses them.

Calculator

Budget & Break-even

33 expense lines and three break-evens: cash cost, cash flow, and total cost (incl. depreciation).

Calculator

Yield & Revenue

Your acres × yield × price. Gross revenue for each crop, without expenses.

Calculator

Cash Rent

Compare rent offers and see the most the ground can carry.

Calculator

Sell or Hold

Compare selling now with holding, against your own break-even.

Calculator

Scenarios

Save versions of your plan and compare them side by side.

Free tools · working prototype

Run your numbers.

Start with one of three example farms or enter your own numbers. Leave a box blank if you haven't reviewed it yet; zero counts as a real entry. Your farm is saved in this browser, so it's still here when you come back.

Try an example farm

Fictional Iowa corn and soybean farms with realistic numbers: costs and cash rents are based on Iowa State University Extension 2026 benchmarks. Pick one to see how the app works, then change anything.

Step 1 · Your acres

Step 2 · Turn annual bills into per-acre costs

Enter what you spend in a year. A cost for one crop, like corn seed, goes in that crop's column and is divided by that crop's acres. A cost you can't split by crop, like general insurance or depreciation, goes in Shared and is spread evenly over all acres. The whole-farm total adds the three columns automatically. Leave a line blank to keep the number already in your budget.

Per-acre cost = annual cost ÷ acres it covers. For example, $24,000 of general insurance ÷ 400 total acres = $60/acre for both crops. $30,000 of corn seed ÷ 240 corn acres = $125/acre for corn only.

Step 3 · Debt payments & family living

Principal payments and family living aren't expenses, so they don't change your profit or taxes. But they're paid from crop income, so they go into your cash-flow break-even. Enter yearly totals for the whole farm. Interest goes in the budget as an expense: land mortgage interest under Land, operating interest under Overhead.

Cash-flow break-even = cash costs + loan principal + family living: the price you need to make every payment. Cash cost break-even leaves out principal and living. Total cost (incl. depreciation) break-even also adds non-cash costs (machinery depreciation and your own labor) to show whether the farm covers wearing out its equipment. Hauling, drying and storage scale with yield; other costs stay fixed.

Revenue only, with no expenses. Acres come from Farm Setup. Yield and price are shared with your Budget, so a change here shows up there too.

Revenue if yield comes in different

Same acres and price, with yield up or down from what you expect.

Prices out renting a farm: each offer replaces the land costs, and everything else comes from your Budget (corn).

Profit $/acre if yield or price comes in different

Uses the total costs from your budget, including land. Yield runs down the side and price across the top.

Break-even fills in with your cash-flow break-even from your Budget. Holding cost means extra storage plus interest from holding longer. Do not count storage already in your budget twice.

Save the current inputs as a named scenario. A saved scenario is a snapshot, so later edits to your budget won't change it. In this prototype, scenarios are kept in this browser only.

Your data, your copy: you can export everything at any time. Paid plans will add secure cloud sync, PDF reports, and sharing with a lender or landlord.

Expense category guide: what goes where

Each line lists what to include and the IRS Schedule F category it's usually reported under, so a budget lines up with your records at tax time. This is a guide for organizing records, not tax advice.
