to many variables to answer.

I asked a farmer, a couple of years ago, how much it cost him to grow corn.

He said that he got about $2.50 per bushel and cost him about $2.50 to grow (on paper).

So it would have cost him less than the $2.50 for fuel.

This will produce the same amount of heat as about $12.50 worth of natural gas.

Most of the energy released by the burning of the corn was converted from sunlight to plant matter. Which would make this a very efficient solar heating system.
