The average U.S. soybean yield for 2014 is now estimated at the record level of 46.6 bushels per acre, which is an increase from the August USDA estimate of 45.4 bushels per acre.
Most farmers who know their numbers say it costs $100 to $250 less per acre to grow a soybean crop, compared to corn. Even then, most Midwestern budgets favor growing corn where possible. Thatâs because 180-bushel corn at $5 per bushel is $900 gross income per acre, and 50-bushel soybeans at $12 a bushel is $600 gross income per acre. Drought can change this, however.
