Manitoba Guide for Estimating Saskatoon Orchard Production Costs

The estimated saskatoon berry production costs in this publication have been prepared to assist new growers to develop their own production cost budgets. This guide provides details over a 20 year period though the establishment years and continuing into early and mature production years. Income statements and cash flow analysis over this 20 year period are also included in the guide.
Since saskatoon orchards have the potential with proper management to be productive for at least 20 years, it is important to see the profit potential over the lifetime of the orchard.

Other unique features of this guide are a staggered establishment phase over a 4 year period (5 acres planted per year to achieve a 20 acre orchard size). This gradual establishment phase allows for a more sustainable and manageable situation where your various orchard maintenance (e.g. plant pruning) will also be staggered over the life of the orchard.
