well as the replacement cost for Beans. Ernst flunk both ugly. True replacement for corn is as low as 3.82 //bushel at 225 bushel per acre to well over 5 dollars in the storm damaged areas of Iowa.

Beans,again,that is all over the spectrum. From 9 dollars to as high as 12 dollars depending on yields.
