Production Costs
Cost per Bushel Inputs
Default values are derived from USDA ERS Commodity Costs and Returns (2024 forecast data) and CRS analysis (R48278). Per-bushel figures = ERS per-acre cost ÷ USDA NASS trend yield. These are U.S. national averages — your actual costs will vary by region, farm size, and year. View ERS source data →

Enter your actual cost per bushel, or use the per-acre estimates and we'll divide by yield.

Enter per-acre costs (÷ yield)
