Crop Profitability Report
Customized Analysis
Calculate your farm’s benefits.
Enter your crops, acreage, and current input figures. Based on your exact metrics we estimate the yield value increase and nitrogen savings from the Symm program using independent field-trial data.
Your farm
Used only to label your report.
Your crops
Add each crop you grow. Enter your typical figures; you can adjust anything.
Program & nitrogen assumptions
Nitrogen share is the portion of your fertilizer spend that is nitrogen. Savings apply to that portion only.
Figures above use the typical range. Under drought or heat stress, the biological benefit is often greater, and yield gains can extend well beyond the typical range. Your advisor can review stress-year results for your crops and region.
Current vs. projected
Per-acre economics for each crop, based on the figures you entered. Projected ranges reflect a typical 8 to 10% yield gain and a 30 to 50% reduction in nitrogen inputs.

How this is calculated
- Yield gain
- Independent field trials show typical yield gains of 8 to 10%, with considerably greater gains under drought or heat stress. We apply the typical range to your crop value, so this estimate stays conservative.
- Nitrogen savings
- The program improves nutrient-use efficiency, supporting a 30 to 50% reduction in nitrogen inputs (Harman, 2011). We apply that to the nitrogen share of your fertilizer spend.
- Net increase
- Yield value increase plus nitrogen savings, less the program cost per acre. Return is the net increase divided by the program cost you entered.
Estimates are based on field-trial data and the figures you provide. Actual results vary with soil, weather, crop variety, and management practices. Symm is two symbiotic microbial inputs that strengthen the root environment and improve nutrient-use efficiency. Both are OMRI listed for organic use in the US.
