Farm Doc Daily released a report today on how crop input costs have not dropped much in the last couple of years. The report presented a chart showing the total costs for high-productivity farms in Central Illinois from 1990 to 2015 for Seed, Pesticide, Fertilizer and Cash Rents. As you can guess, the lowest cost year for the crop inputs (seed, fertilizer and pesticide) was 1990 at slightly less than $100. It took until 2005 for these costs to exceed $150 per acre.
