Using this budget, farmers can estimate the costs and returns for raising sweet corn. Table 1 presents estimates for Missouri based on price forecasts in January 2025. Production is calculated for 1 acre with overhead irrigation. Capital investments and a sensitivity analysis are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. Use the “Your estimate” column to plan your sweet corn operation’s costs and returns.
