University of Illinois February 2018 This publication presents revenues and costs for producing corn, soybeans, wheat, and double-crop soybeans in three regions of Illinois: northern, central, and southern Illinois. Central Illinois is further divided into categories for high-productivity farmland and low-productivity farmland. Divisions between high and low farmland productivity are made based on soil productivity ratings. Generally, farms with higher soil productivity ratings have higher yields. Between 2011 and 2016, corn yields on high productivity farmland averaged 192 bushels per acre while corn yields on low productivity farmland averaged 179 bushels. This publication includes ten tables: 1. Corn Revenue and Costs, Northern Illinois 2. Soybean Revenue and Costs, Northern Illinois 3. Corn Revenue and Costs, Central Illinois with High Productivity Farmland 4.
Cash rent is $290 per acre, roughly the average cash rent level in 2014 and 2015 in central Illinois. The five highest costs are cash rent ($290 per acre), fertilizer ($148 per acre), seed ($124 per acre), machinery depreciation ($69 per acre), and pesticides ($60 per acre).hird, prices in the $3.75 per bushel range are not new. Farmers likely averaged near $3.70 per bushel for 2014 production. Given current expectations, much of 2015 production could be sold at below $4.00 prices. Therefore, 2016 could be the third year of sub $4.00 corn prices if corn prices remain low.
