Calculate crop deductions, grain dockage, moisture shrink, foreign material discounts, test weight discounts, drying charges, handling fees, net bushels, gross crop value, and net crop payment. Use this crop deduction calculator for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, rice, and other harvested crops.
Moisture deductions:
The calculator estimates moisture points above target moisture, then applies a shrink factor and drying charge.
Dockage deductions:
Foreign material, fines, and dockage reduce marketable bushels and can add a per-bushel charge.
Quality discounts:
Test weight and damage inputs estimate price discounts or charges that reduce the crop payment.
Net payment:
Net bushels are multiplied by adjusted price, then dollar deductions are subtracted.
A crop deduction calculator helps estimate how much may be deducted from a grain settlement before delivery, sale, or storage.
It can help compare gross bushels, net bushels, moisture shrink, dockage, drying cost, test weight discounts, damage discounts, fees, gross value, and net payment.
Your result shows estimated net bushels, total deduction dollars, deduction percent, moisture shrink bushels, dockage bushels, drying charge, handling fee, storage fee, quality discounts, checkoff amount, gross crop value, and net payment. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
Crop deductions are reductions from a crop payment for items such as moisture, shrink, dockage, drying, handling, storage, foreign material, damage, low test weight, and assessments.
Start with gross bushels, then subtract estimated moisture shrink bushels and dockage bushels to estimate net marketable bushels.
Excess moisture can reduce marketable bushels through shrink and can add drying charges, both of which lower the final payment.
Elevators can use different discount schedules, drying rates, shrink factors, grade rules, dockage standards, and service fees.
