Planning Your Garlic Farm© - Beta v1.1

Many customers call us with good questions regarding exactly how to start farming garlic. How many bulbs should I start with? How much land do I need? How do I create a plan for my garlic farm? It became obvious that a comprehensive garlic farm planning tool was needed. So, we created one! It's simple to use, yet is an extremely robust and powerful spreadsheet program, written in Excel.

 

• Dual calculations: one calculation using RCF's default values and one using values entered by the user.
• Multi-year planning: plan up to 5 years in advance
• Expenses & Labor: Includes estimates for all associated costs of running the farm based on how many bulbs you are growing and what your costs are for labor and materials.
• Curing shed: Based on how many bulbs you'll be harvesting, the spreadsheet automatically calculates the size of the curing shed you'll be needing.
• Sample Plans: We've created sample 1,2 and 3 year plans to give you practical examples of how you could scale up over time, allowing for a learning curve while also saving boodles of money.
• Net Profit: Just how much profit can you expect from a given size garlic operation? Every variable is taken into account; percentage of crop loss, price at market, average number of bulbs per pound, expenses, bulbs held back for replanting.
