Abstract: This report presents barley production cost and return estimates for the 1992 production year obtained from USDA's Farm Costs and Returns Survey, along with coefficients of variation for each cost item. Estimates are presented for the United States, regions, selected States, variable cost groups, and enterprise size groups. Farm characteristics and input use are also included for each of these groups. Production costs vary due to location, differences in yields, irrigation, and input use. The report also includes an analysis of the effects of Government program participation on barley production costs and returns. Costs and returns for barley farm operators were also estimated, and several farm and operator characteristics were examined as sources of unit cost variation.
