STATE-LEVEL COSTS OF PRODUCTION, 1986

No 278008, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: The cost of producing major U.S. field crops fell an average 10 percent in 1986. The decline was led by fuel costs, followed by fertilizer costs. However, prices received by farmers declined by a higher percentage, thus deteriorating returns. The costs and returns in this report are consistent with regional and national weighted averages published annually in the Economic Indicators of the Farm Sector: Costs of Production. The estimates are preliminary and subject to revision.
