Transition Acres & Yield Estimates

Enter how many acres you plan to transition to organic and your estimated yields. Transition year yields typically run 10–20% below conventional — the yield gap often narrows over time as soil health improves under organic management. The two panels below automatically calculate estimated revenue under both Non-GMO pricing (Years 1 & 2) and certified organic pricing (Year 3 & beyond) using the same acreage and yield estimates.
