I agree with Joshua B. (Except it should be divided by "cost" not by "revenue"). How does one change the formula used to compute profit margin? The current values are meaningless. Taking the Wheat example: cost with plowing = 28, profit = 61 - 28 = 33. Ratio is 33 / 28 = 1.18, as Joshua says. Would also be good to add a column that gives gain / hour, or per day. Ignoring compounding (don't have a financial calculator handy), wheat would be 1.18 / 12 hours ~= 0.1 / hour. Or if you like percentages, that is 10% gain per hour. This is useful if you have depleted your cash, and are trying to rebuild it quickly. That is, you are currently limited by cash, not by room for plots.
