Since farmland is one of the major inputs in production of corn, the higher price for land will increase every farmer’s cost. Even if the farmer already owns land they previously purchased at lower prices, they have to recognize that the new higher price of land is their opportunity cost: they could just sell the land and receive the new higher price of land. show shifts in any of the cost curves, reflecting the higher cost of land (keeping in mind that this higher cost is independent of how much or how little corn is actually produced) and labeling the changed cost curves with a subscript 1.
