Skill: Build per-acre economics

A whole-farm average buries the field that's losing money.

Step 1 — Cost per acre by field

Inputs, operations, land, and overhead per acre (§3 #4).

Step 2 — Margin per acre by field

Revenue (yield × price) minus cost, by field.

Step 3 — Rank the fields

Identify the profitable and the loss-making acres.

Step 4 — Act

Map input/rotation/marketing changes to the laggard fields.

Output

A per-acre cost-and-margin read by field with the laggards identified.
