A PDF report and an Excel spreadsheet have been developed with crop costs and returns projected for 2011. They are posted on the Crop and Livestock Economics page, http://www.apec.umn.edu/faculty/wlazarus/interests-croplivestock.html . The format is similar to the 2010 version that was developed last year. It will most likely surprise no one that net returns are up as a result of the higher crop prices. The report includes information on the food and feed crops as well as on corn stover collection costs and on dedicated biomass energy crops. The spreadsheet includes data only for the food and feed crops.
