Other Income and Expenses-  Allows dairy producers to account for all other income and expenses (or cash inflows and outflows) for their operation to arrive at a net income before tax (or net cash flow before tax).  MARGINSMART® allows each user to customize this area for their own operation and allows them to identify and use the specific income and expense (or cash inflow and outflow) items that relate to their operation.  For complete flexibility you can input these items either on a per cwt. basis or in total dollars, each on a monthly basis.
