An oyster farm enterprise budget was developed to calculate the cost of starting an operation and annual cost of production. Projected costs can be changed in order to estimate the associated cost for various levels of production as well as projected profit or loss. Growers should model these budgets and use the values that best reflect their operation.
Rusty Grice helps oyster farmers navigate requirements for starting farms. His focus is on making farmers be more successful as businesses. He also conducts an annual survey of existing farmers to study the economic impact of the industry in Alabama.
