Using this budget, farmers can estimate the costs and returns for growing elderberry. Table 1 presents estimates for Missouri based on assumptions and prices in October 2024. Production area is assumed to have 908 elderberry plants (4-foot-by-12-foot row spacing) growing in an open field on 1 acre with irrigation. Detailed assumptions and capital investments are summarized in Tables 2, 3 and 4. Assumptions in this budget can be modified for your situation. Use the "Your estimate" column to plan your elderberry operation’s costs and returns.
