The input costs for growing alfalfa, corn, soybeans and wheat in Wisconsin are predicted to be mixed in 2015. According to Ken Barnett, University of Wisconsin-Extension educator emeritus, crop prices are forecasted to be lower. But fertilizer prices will be mixed, while pesticide costs are expected to be slightly higher.

"When deciding how much of an input to apply, producers can maximize their investment in that input by considering its marginal rate of return," said Barnett.
