Farmer weighs cost of extra fertilizer to raise yield
Brown notes that fixed costs stay the same whether corn yields 85 or 125 bushels per acre. He cites about 15 dollars for seed and fertilizer to reach 85 bushels and another 15 dollars could lift yield to 125 bushels, producing roughly 40 extra bushels worth over 50 dollars.
