What This Calculator Does

This crop yield revenue calculator estimates gross revenue per acre by multiplying expected yield by market price for any crop. It uses 2026 USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum projections showing marketing year average prices of $4.20 per bushel for corn, $10.30 per bushel for soybeans, and $5.00 per bushel for wheat, along with national average yields of 181 bushels per acre for corn, 53 for soybeans, and 52 for wheat. The tool calculates per-acre and total farm revenue, includes optional production cost inputs for profitability analysis, and factors in crop insurance indemnities and government program payments.

Real-World Use Cases

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using average yield instead of farm-specific yield history. National averages (181 bu/ac corn) can differ significantly from individual farm performance based on soil type, management, and weather.

• Ignoring the difference between production and price. High yields with low prices can generate less revenue than moderate yields with higher prices. Always calculate revenue, not just yield.

• Forgetting to include all fixed costs. Land rent or mortgage, property taxes, crop insurance premiums, and equipment depreciation are real costs that must be covered by revenue.

• Not accounting for basis. The local cash price at your elevator may differ from futures or USDA projected prices by $0.10 to $0.50 per bushel depending on location and time of delivery.

• Overlooking government program payments. ARC and PLC payments can add $10 to $50+ per acre of additional revenue in low-price years like 2026.
