Abstract

This report presents a detailed description of the software program StockPlan® including a description of the calculations used within the program. StockPlan® has been developed as a decision aid for farmers and their advisors during drought and during the drought recovery stage. StockPlan® consists of three different packages. DroughtPack calculates feed requirements and feed costs, FSA compares the feed, selling and agistment options and Impack examines the financial projections from various drought recovery strategies. Calculations used by the programs are discussed using numerical examples.
