The 2025 Excel versions of the Gross Margin guide have been updated!

Ag Excellence Alliance, with the support of the Sheep Industry Fund (SIF), is pleased to be able to continue to bring you this highly valued platform on expected gross margins for broadacre cropping and livestock enterprises in South Australia. It incorporates the latest information on input and output pricing to give estimates of the relative profitability of different farm enterprises, as an aid to decision making in enterprise selection.

The 2025 Excel versions have been updated with:

• minor changes to the cropping version
• significant changes to the livestock version with improved features and updated livestock input costs and commodity prices.

The update of the livestock version reflects the current market with good returns for meat, particularly lamb but lower returns and profitability for wool production.

Unfortunately, Ag Ex could not secure funding for a printed version this year but will continue to explore opportunities in 2026.
