What this sheet is for

Find out what the holding actually costs against what it produces, which is a question most smallholdings avoid asking.

Who it is for

Smallholders, homesteaders and anyone deciding whether to keep going or change enterprise.

How to use it

  1. Include the costs you would rather not — fencing, fuel, vet, machinery, your time if you value it.
  2. Value what you ate as well as what you sold.
  3. Do it once a year, in the same month, so the years compare.
  4. Answer the last question honestly.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Is this a set of accounts?

No. It is arithmetic on your own figures for your own use. Whether your holding is a business or a hobby, what may be deducted and what must be declared are questions for an accountant and for the tax rules where you are.
