Agrimaster Grain Income Calculator (GIC) organises and calculates the complex financial details of a grain pool, grain loan or harvest income across 1 or more fiscal years.
The GIC is optional. The data and calculated amounts from the GIC will be displayed inside the Cropping Worksheet to help you make decisions on how much and which types of grain to grow.
If the GIC is used, the Loan Accounts must be setup in the Agrimaster Cashbook prior to starting a new GIC. Choose to enter grain data into the Cropping Production Worksheet before or after running the GIC.

Use The GIC To Track
- Timing of the income, especially when the income is received across 2 budget years or paid on a delayed date after harvest.
- Freight and storage costs, both billable and non-billable costs.
- Levies and GST.

Opt To Complete Cropping Production Worksheet First
If you choose to complete the Cropping Production Worksheet before the GIC, enter the tonnes of grain you expect to harvest for the loan into the Grain Loan Option column.
Upon saving the Cropping Worksheet Group or moving to another Worksheet in the set, the Grain Income Calculator will be offered to you.
If you are using a loan or separate account for your pool, these accounts must be setup in your Agrimaster cashbook prior to starting the Grain Income Calculator.

Agrimaster Grain Income Calculator (GIC) is an optional worksheet for organizing the complex details of your loans, loan distributions and harvest. Create 1 new grain income calculator for each loan or each type of grain in a pool or harvest income distribution. Separate instructions are provided for each of 3 common types of GIC Worksheets.
- Wheat pool - Distribnutions No Loan: Plan for the distributions from your wheat pool and use a forecast for the grades of grain you expect to harvest.
- Other pool with harvest advance: Detail the harvest advance and expected harvest activity for other grains, such as barley.
