HOW MANY YEARS DO YOU NORMALLY USETO
 CHARGE OFF THE COST OF REPLANTING A FIELD? 3
 HOW MANY RATOON CROPS HAVE .YOU HARVESTED
 FROM THIS FIELD SINCE IT WAS LAST REPLANTED? 2
 NOW ENTER THE DATA WHICH YOU EXPECT
 FOR RATOON # 3 ON THIS FIELD:
 EXPECTED YIELD (NET TONS PER ACRE) ? 20
 PERCENT SUCROSE IN NORMAL JUICE (%) ?T3
 EXPECTED PRICE ($/STANDARD TON) ? 22
 PRE-HARVEST PRODUCTION COSTS ($/ACRE) ? 65
 HARVEST COSTS ($/GROSS TON) ? 9
 PERCENT TRASH (%) ? 8.5
 ARE THESE ENTRIES OK (Y/N) ? Y
 The next five questions concern what is expected to happen if the
stubble is replaced:
 NOW ENTER THE DATA WHICH YOU EXPECT
 IF YOU REPLANT THIS FIELD:
 EXPECTED YIELD (NET TONS PER ACRE) ? 40
 PERCENT SUCROSE IN NORMAL JUICE (%) ?T13.5
 COST TO PREPARE LAND AND REPLANT ($/ACRET-? 350
 PRE-HARVEST PRODUCTION COSTS ($/ACRE) ? 75
 PERCENT TRASH (%) ? 5
 INTEREST RATE FOR DISCOUNTING INCOME (%) ? 14
 ARE THESE ENTRIES OK (Y/N) ? Y
 The last question, concerning the interest rate for discounting income,
is the interest rate used to adjust the replant cane returns, since when the
land is fallowed, replant cane returns come one season later than ratoon
cane returns and thus must be discounted to adjust for the time lag. However,
since the returns from both ratoon and successive plant canes come at about
the same time, the program makes this adjustment by asking:
 IF YOU REPLANT, WILL IT BE
 1. SUCCESSIVE PLANTING

 2. AFTER ONE YEAR FALLOW
 MAKE SELECTION (1 OR 2) ? 2
