Comparative Yield Per Acre For Grains And Marijuana

Using the average price of $1,948 per pound in Colorado, an acre of marijuana can yield more than $1.1 million per acre.

Comparatively, the most widely grown crops in the U.S., including corn, soybeans, oats and wheat, all yield less than $1,000 per harvested acre.

Even with more competition in the legal marijuana market, which could cause prices to fall, the revenue margin will remain significantly greater for marijuana crops than for other cash crops.
