International Benchmarks for Wheat Production

This paper examines the competitiveness of wheat production for important international wheat production regions using 2016 to 2020 data from the agri benchmark network. Data from ten typical farms with wheat enterprise data from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, and United States were used in this paper.

International Benchmarks for Soybean Production (2022)

Examining the competitiveness of soybean production in different regions of the world is often difficult due to lack of comparable data and agreement regarding what needs to be measured. This paper examines the competitiveness of soybean production for important international soybean regions using 2016 to 2020 data from the agri benchmark network.

International Benchmarks for Corn Production (2022)

This paper examines the competitiveness of corn production for important international corn regions using 2016 to 2020 data from the agri benchmark network. The agri benchmark network collects data on beef, cash crops, dairy, pigs and poultry, horticulture, and organic products. There were 16 countries with corn data for 2020 represented in the cash crop network.

International Benchmarks for Wheat Production (2021)

This paper examines the competitiveness of wheat production for important international wheat production regions using 2015 to 2019 data from the agri benchmark network.

International Benchmarks for Soybean Production (2021)

This paper examined yield, gross revenue, and cost for farms in the agri benchmark network from Argentina, Brazil, Russia, the Ukraine, and the United States with soybean enterprise data. Yield, gross revenue, and cost were substantially higher for the U.S. farms.

International Benchmarks for Corn Production (2021)

Examining the competitiveness of corn production in different regions of the world is often difficult due to lack of comparable data and agreement regarding what needs to be measured. This paper examines the competitiveness of corn production for important international corn regions using 2015 to 2019 data from the agri benchmark network.
