The Grain Hauling Cost Calculator was developed as a decision aid to assist Tennessee producers in estimating the cost of transporting corn, wheat, and soybeans from their farm to alternative locations. Costs (total, dollars per bushel, or custom rate equivalent in dollars per mile) can be compared between marketing locations based on user-entered parameters.
Note Regarding Security Settings: The decision-aid file contains macros (examples: buttons for printing and moving from the intro page to the calculator) which are required for the calculator to function properly. Security settings for Microsoft Office or Excel may give you warnings when you open the file regarding the safety of enabling the macros. This will especially be true if your security settings are set to high or very high. The macros in the file must be enabled for the calculator to function properly.
