We intend to be a resource for the dissemination of Agriculture Enterprise Systems, Agribusiness Programs and Enterprise Budgets for any agricultural business as well as additional agriculture-related and food business materials. We hope to accomplish this by providing Enterprise Budget Sheets in the following formats: PDF (Portable Document Format) files that are equivalent to printed publications and you need free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files, as well as XLS files that are Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet templates. Current commodity market information, professional development courses, webinars and other useful resources are also available for growers, lenders, agricultural leaders and extension personnel to be informed of potential opportunities in the agricultural market. Webinars are provided for the use of some electronic files.

CUCES does not endorse any information not generated by CUCES unless specifically noted, nor does CUCES warrant that the actual source materials have been accurately transferred to this medium.
