Impact of Fuel and Nitrogen Prices on Profitability of Selected Crops: A Case Study

Agronomy Journal (2008)

Sara A. Skalsky James J. Jacobs Dale J. Menkhaus William B. Stevens

Increasing prices for fuel and N fertilizer affect crop production decisions and profitability. Nitrogen response functions are estimated for corn ( Zea mays L.), sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.), dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and malt barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) using data from field studies conducted in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming. These N response functions are used to evaluate the impact of increases in N and fuel prices on the profitable level of N use. Enterprise budgets are developed for seven selected crops to determine return to management [Return to Management = Price × Yield – Total Cost (preplant, plant, growing, harvest, land, and other)] under price increases for fuel and N. Finally, a linear programming model is used to determine the impacts of increased prices for fuel and N on farm profit and crop mix. Results illustrate that impacts of increasing fuel and N prices on individual crops are quite different and also vary with the overall crop mix. In particular, adding alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) and perennial ryegrass ( Lolium spp.) seed production to the crop mix reduced the impacts of increasing fuel and N prices. This suggests producers should adjust production practices on individual crops and also analyze their crop mix when faced with rising fuel and N prices if they are to minimize impacts on profitability.
