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.
1 Between 2009 and 2010, total costs on cash rent farmland in central Illinois decreased from $743 per acre to $667 per acre, a cost decrease of 10%. 2  Costs in 2009 were high because of high fertilizer costs in late 2008 through 2009 and high drying costs. 3  Fertilizer and drying costs decreased from 2009 to 2010.n increase to $4.00 per bushel would result in $800 of crop revenue (200 bushel yield x $4 price). At the same time, ARC payments likely will be $0 per acre. As a result, a $4 corn price results in roughly the same gross revenue as a $3.75 price after considering the reduction in ARC payments.
