Abstract

The effects of changes in crop prices and the price of nitrogen fertilizer were examined for a simulated 600 acre corn/soybean farm in Ohio, using a linear programming model. The profit-maximizing nitrogen application rate on corn was found to be only slightly sensitive to changes in the price of nitrogen. A more pronounced consequence of higher nitrogen prices was a shift of some cropland from corn to soybeans.
