Volume Commitment

Committed across all shipment rows vs. what each commodity can supply, and what's left.

Shipments

One row per shipment. Add the same destination more than once for different modes. Margins shown are gross (before company overhead).

Company Overhead

Company-wide costs, allocated across all commodities. Subtracted below the gross line in the net income build. Untick to exclude.

Projected Net Income

From revenue through to net operating income, with EBITDA highlighted. Shown as totals and per pound.

Diamond Site Consumption

Each plant's potato demand — annual and monthly — so you can see the ceiling when committing volume.

Freight Rate Library

Delivered freight by destination and mode (rail includes railcar lease). The builder pulls from here. Blank = not offered. Units follow the toggle.

DestinationRailBulk TruckLTLVanFTL
Never truck California (bulk to Ripon/Lathrop ≈ $0.18). Future: packaging sub-types (bulk / tote / 50-lb bag) per mode.

Potato Production Assumptions

Potato Production Cost

Only potato-production costs (company overhead is on the Net Income Builder tab). Each line shows Total per year and Per-unit — edit either and the other recalculates from annual production.

Historical Cost Trends

Actual spend from the P&L ÷ finished pounds made that year. 2027 is the plan. Toggle per-unit vs total.

Monthly Potato Received (Raw Intake)

Actual monthly raw-potato intake from the ticket trackers. Click a year to show or hide it. Finished pounds MADE per Sean: 2023 ~36M (288 run days, ~127,878/day), 2024 ~28M (bad year — oil issues, breakdowns, Lamb Weston short), 2025 ~16M. Monthly finished totals live in the "2023 monthly production" workbook (Tote/Bin), moving to Ignition before startup.

Carrot Production Assumptions

Carrot Production Cost

Same structure as potato. On-hand carrot is already produced, so its cost is sunk — default variable cost is $0 and it is sold FOB.

Real data: carrot on-hand = 2,457,669 lbs (April 2026 month-end, Parker Pioske via Sean), already produced so cost is sunk (default $0). Go-forward: if NLD runs carrots, Sean pegs variable cost around $0.30/lb ($0.26 in a clean year) — raw + inbound ~$0.23 blended plus extra drying energy since carrots come in wetter, roughly 1.3× potato. Enter that above to model new production instead of drawing down inventory.
