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.
For example, this spring, some farmers forward-priced a percentage of their anticipated 2015 corn at about $5/bu. At that level, returns would be $149/acre higher from crop revenue alone, thus providing a profit, even at 2014 average cash rent levels.hree years from now, Schnitkey expects average Illinois rents to be $55/acre lower, at about $225. Everyone wanted to see if $4 corn was real, he explains. In fact, today's futures prices have corn beneath $4 for some contract months--the lowest such prices in several years.
