farmPartial: Tools for Farm Partial-Budget Analysis

Provides tools for evaluating the incremental economic consequences of a proposed farm-management change using partial-budget logic. Functions organize added returns, reduced costs, added costs, and reduced returns; compare baseline and alternative budgets; calculate net changes and marginal rates of return; conduct one- and two-way sensitivity, scenario, break-even, dominance, marginal, and Monte Carlo uncertainty analyses; and convert capital changes to annual equivalents. The framework follows the approach described by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (1988, ISBN: 968-6127-19-4) for farm-management, extension, and on-farm research.
