Soybeans: State-Level Production Costs, Characteristics, and Input Use, 1990

摘要

The report presents State-level soybean production cost and return estimates for the 1990 production year, along with coefficients of variation for each cost item. Per-acre costs are highly variable among States due to differences in production practices, inputs, and type and size of machines used in soybean production. Total per-acre economic costs varied from $151 in Mississippi to $258 in Nebraska. Soybean yields varied significantly, from about 10 bushels in Georgia to 43 bushels per planted acre in Indiana.
