Wrapping it Up. The USDA cost of production estimates suggest that 2016 input costs will be similar to 2015. With prices at current levels, this would mean another challenging year for many farmers.or instance, at the estimated trend yield of 166 bushels per acre for corn the costs of production would be $4.11 per bushel. Using this approach soybeans and wheat come in at costs of $10.65 and $6.50 per bushel respectively.
Production costs for greenhouse tomatoes, on the other hand, averaged over $.57/lb ($1.27/kg) assuming a yield of 27 lbs (12.3 kgs) per plant space, as indicated in Table 6. The substantial increases in energy costs during the 70s and 80s has had a devastating effect on greenhouse production costs.f the total fixed and variable costs of $11,313 are divided by the total production of 19,710 lbs (8940 kgs) determine break even production costs of $57/lb ($1.27/kg) or $.77/lb ($1.71/kg) if only the total production of U.S. No. 1 and 2 is used to calculate break even costs.
