The decision to plant corn should be based on economic returns estimated from enterprise budgets, which can be found at most land-grant universities. Under conditions of low corn yields, or alternative high-value crops, corn may not be the most economical crop to grow. In general, if corn yields are three times the yield of soybeans and prices for corn are at least half the price for soybeans, then growing corn is a profitable enterprise.
