Abstract: Costs of producing most major field crops increased in 1988. Per-acre costs rose slightly while per-bushel production costs climbed sharply for barley, corn, oats, sorghum, soybeans, and wheat because of drought-reduced yields. Despite increased costs, per-acre returns for most crops improved. Higher prices offset lower yields for soybeans, sunflowers, and the major grains except barley.
