Farmers Face High Costs and Low Returns in Corn Trade
An examination from the Kansan Farmer and Gov Boies argues Nebraska and Iowa lead in corn production but farmers face near break-even costs. Citing average yields around 32.8 bushels per acre and costs near 7 dollars per acre, the discussion notes market values roughly equal production costs, with hauling and soil deterioration excluded. The piece warns many farmers struggle financially as yields vary and other crops also underperform, urging political engagement for better self-interest.
