Arbetsrationalisering genom samarbete
en fallstudie
To be a part of the future we have to make a profit, one way to improve the profit margin is by
reducing the fixed costs. This paper discusses the financial results of equipment cooperatives in
crop production. Through a case study of three farms in Södermanland, we have an example of
how it can look today and how it could look tomorrow. The three farms are crop-producing farms
with slightly different orientation. Jursta Gård, 155 hectares, and Djursnäs Säteri, 215 hectares,
have grains crop and oilseed crops as the main crops, and Nibble Gård, 340 hectares, mostly have
pasturelands and some grain crops. By comparing different key performance indicators such as:
write-offs, interest, maintenance, storage, fuel, and temporary rentals, you can clearly see how a
equipment cooperative affects the financials. A good way to see the financial benefit is by
calculating machine expense per kilogram produced. Here you see large opportunities for the
farms as they reduce their costs significantly.
