      abstract = {Organic crop acres in the United States more than doubled  between 2002 and 2011 as  acreage increased from 1.3 to  over 3 million acres. While acreage for some major field   crops increased substantially during this period, growth  was more modest or had stalled  for others. This study  examines the profitability of corn, wheat, and soybean  production using national survey data and finds that  significant economic returns are possible  from organic  production of these crops. The main reason for higher  per-bushel returns  to organic production is the price  premiums paid for organic crops. Despite potentially higher  returns, the adoption of organic field crop production has  been slow and is  challenging due to such factors as  achieving effective weed control and the processes   involved with organic certification.},
