Frost fan ROI calculator launches online
The calculator allows growers to input the crop type, average annual crop yield (when not affected by frost damage), estimated average annual reduction in yield due to frost/cold injury and the crop value ($ per tonne). Also required are the diesel cost per litre, loan interest rate/cost of capital (APR), estimated machine running hours (during frost events) and the block area requiring protection.
The calculator amortizes the capital cost of FrostBoss™ C49 machine/s over a 20 year life to provide the investment gain per annum, annual investment and ROI for the nominated block size and per hectare. The results are based on typical low range and high range fan coverage areas.
For most situations, active protection against frost and cold injury provides compelling returns.
You can use the tool on your desktop, tablet or smartphone.
