U.S. farmers plan to plant more corn and fewer soybeans this spring than they did last year .

Planting decisions that are usually finalized in winter help determine the production of corn and soybeans.

Some farmers may be able to earn "a nickel or two " on every bushel of corn, an economist says.

But for soybeans and other crops, prices have fallen below the cost of production.

Growers face a third straight year of dwindling crop revenues.

"It just looks like it might be a little bit better economics," Justison said. (Reporting by Julie Ingwersen ; additional reporting by P.J. Huffstutter . Editing by Emily Schmall and David Gregorio ).
