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.
The average soybean yield for all combined areas of the state was 56 bushels per acre resulting in a total cost of production of $12.45 per bushel. The average soybean yield was tied for the highest on record. The cost per bushel to raise soybeans the last five years averaged $11.24 per bushel.osts were lower in southern Illinois primarily because of lower land costs. The total of all economic costs per bushel in the different sections of the state ranged from $4.90 to $5.20 for corn and from $12.32 to $12.88 for soybeans. Variations in this cost were related to weather, yields, and land quality.
