I have about $160.00/acre in seed, fertilizer, and chemicals so at 100bu/acre yield I should clear about $140.00/acre. I would expect a higher yield than that, but this ground is not capable of 200bu yields except in rare years. I don't consider land costs because I would own that anyway. If I rent or buy more just to farm then I'll add that to the cost. I also don't count the equipment costs because I would have that anyway and figure it as my hobby. My live stock is paying out nicely since it is on a small enough scale right now to direct market everything. I've sold all my hogs at $300.00 each and the steer sold for $1200.00 and I kept a quarter. Of the other four two are sold at the same price but they won't be ready til fall.
It's not enough to live on since I'm small scale, but it more than pays for itself and helps out with the bills and I enjoy it.
