Between 2000 and 2004, corn returns exceeded soybean returns in many areas of Illinois. Budgets suggest that recent cost increases have narrowed the gap between corn and soybean returns.

From a returns perspective, farmers may wish to plant soybeans on farmland that could be corn-after-corn in 2006.
