Beginning and Ending Inventory Values are SUGGESTED. No single price for a grain or a forage is necessarily accurate for a single farm or all farms. Use these inventory values as a guideline or starting point and adjust for varying quality or market conditions. Ontario Farm Management Analysis Project (OFMAP) uses a single transfer value for the above feeds. INCREASE or DECREASE the amount fed to accommodate feeds of higher or lower quality.

* Note that the OFMAP template programs use the transfer values above as defaults. Beginning, transfer and ending values can be changed to suit individual farm situations.
