A crop yields 5.5 t/ha and sells for 170 per tonne. Variable costs are 1030 per hectare. What is the gross margin per hectare? | Revenue = 5.5 x 170 = 935 per ha. Gross margin = revenue - variable costs = 935 - 1030 = -95 per ha. The final answer is $\boxed{-95}$. | Calculate the gross margin per hectare using the following agricultural data:
- Crop Yield: 5.5 t/ha
- Selling Price: 170 per tonne
- Variable Costs: 1030 per hectare
Note: Gross margin is defined as total revenue minus variable costs. Show your calculation steps clearly. | The gross margin for this operation is **-95 per hectare**.
