Purdue Releases First 2027 Crop Budget Estimate

Purdue University has released its first 2027 crop budget, providing an estimate of costs and returns for farmers in Indiana. The guide includes budgets for continuous corn, rotation corn, rotation soybeans, wheat, and double-crop soybeans across low, average, and high productivity soils.

The September 2026 estimates are based on expected input prices and harvest price assumptions. Farmers can use the accompanying spreadsheet to adjust key assumptions and see how changes affect projected crop returns.

Input prices can vary by location and time of year, so farmers should revisit their budget as market conditions change. Purdue will release additional updates throughout the season to reflect changing market and input price conditions.
