Nate Bruce, Farm Business Management Specialist, nsbruce@udel.edu has developed enterprise
budgets for watermelons and pumpkins with prices and information for 2026. You can use these budgets to estimate your production costs and returns. All enterprise budgets are in Excel. The first tab contains research estimated costs and returns. The second tab allows you to enter your own costs and returns.
To download the new enterprise budgets go to: https://www.udel.edu/canr/cooperative-extension/sustainable-production/agribusiness/farm-business-management/ or download them directly from this webpage.
