Table 1 provides assumed values for an average cotton crop including profit potential for cotton lint and cottonseed. For a field that produces 2,631 lbs of seed cotton/acre with 38% turnout, the field will produce approximately 1,000 lbs lint/acre. Assuming the seed cotton also has about 300 lbs of trash per acre about 1,331 lbs of fuzzy cottonseed is produced per acre. Cottonseed sold at $350/ton ($0.175/lb) will net $232.93/acre in this scenario.
As of Thursday, the CME Group's new-crop Dec. '14 corn price is $4.49. Specifically, the highest listed expense in ten input items, is corn seed at $264 per bag (185 bu. per acre rate).
