Most of the input that users will enter into Analyzer are entered at the Input sheet. This sheet provides opportunity to enter financial and production information regarding the equipment used, the manure being spread and the land receiving the manure. Analyzer begins with data from a hypothetical situation. Analyzer calculates the full economic cost of owning and operating the equipment necessary to spread manure. Costs are estimated from this input and equations published by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers 1 and the American Agricultural Economics Association 2 .
