Pasture Rent Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Pasture Rent.
Rp = A * H * Q
- Where Rp is the Pasture Rent ($/AUM)
- A is the number of animal units
- H is the hay price per ton ($/ton)
- Q is the pasture quality factor
How to Calculate Pasture Rent?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Pasture Rent.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the number of animal units. In this example, the number of animal units is given as 3 .
- Next, determine the hay price per ton ($/ton). For this problem, the hay price per ton ($/ton) is given as 4 .
- Next, determine the pasture quality factor. In this case, the pasture quality factor is found to be .2.
- Finally, calculate the Pasture Rent using the formula above:
Rp = A * H * Q
Inserting the values from above yields:
Rp = 3 * 4 * .2 = 2.4 ($/AUM)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
number of animal units = 300
hay price per ton ($/ton) = 40
pasture quality factor = .18
Entering these values and solving gives:
Rp = 300 * 40 * .18 = 2160 ($/AUM)
