New enterprise budgets (cost of production/COP) for small scale hop production at 5 acres, 10 acres, and 20 acres are now available on the Hop Growers of America Website. The resources developed by Michigan State University and the University of Vermont include 5 year outlook on establishing a small scale hop yard common in the Northeastern USA as well as Ontario and Eastern Canada.
The budget templates, which are available as free downloadable Excel files, include various models of production to assist growers interested in production only or production and processing.
