Fuel is a silent margin eater in cold weather. I tag it to the house in Poultry Log so the bill meets the flock.
The February fuel bill met cost per bird and showed house two leaking. The tag found the leak.
Fuel meets margin. Tag it.
Fuel by house.
Heat cost, visible.
Track fuel cost by house and flock in Poultry Log, comparing it to past flocks and tying it to heating degree days. Knowing fuel per bird shows whether a house leaks heat or a flock drank the margin.
Paper and spreadsheets can store poultry farm fuel cost tracking data, but they rarely show which house, flock, or expense is actually costing money.
