The nation's corn crop should yield 10.71 bil bushels, less than the 10.73 bil view in Sept. and worst since '06, the USDA said. The 122.8-bushels-per-acre yield is off 20% vs. '11 and the worst since '95.Investor'sBusiness
The soybean yield is estimated at 58 bushels per acre, down 1 bushel from 2016. Production is estimated at a record high 612 million bushels, up 3 percent from the previous year. Sorghum:Planted area, at 17,000 acres, is down 6 percent from last year. Harvested area for grain, at 15,...
These values are multiplied to generate an estimate of number of kernels per acre and should be relatively accurate, if you do your part. In order to estimate yield, you must also integrate kernel weight into the calculation. The problem with this method or any other variant for estimating ...
In fact, for the first half of the 20th century, yields remained range-bound between 20–30 bushels per acre. Then, there were two miracles. First, the introduction of a drought-resistant variety of the crop (1940s). Then, the introduction of fertilizer, pesticides, and mechanized agricultur...
corn breeders are targeting to plant top-yielding seed corn hybrids that has the potential to yield 500-plus bushels per acre. It presents several factors to be considered in aiming for top corn yields including weather, soil nutrients, and pest control....
If realized, this would be a crop size of 14.578 billion bushels, even bigger than last year's record-high harvest. The adjusted estimate led to the sharp fall of CBOT corn prices. For soybeans, the new estimate for the 2017 U.S. yield was at 49.5 bushels per acre, unchanged from la...
One dropped ear per 100 feet of row or two corn kernels per square foot or equals about 1 bushel per acre yield loss. The bottom line is that the longer corn stays in the field, the greater the likelihood of substantial field losses and complications. Lodging caused by storms can ...

Corn plant populations have increased at approximately 400 plants/acre per year over the last two decades. Seeding rates now are commonly in the 32,000 to 38,000 seeds/acre range. Additionally, grain yields are increasing at 1.8 bushels/acre per year since 1996. Because corn plant populations...
For example, a corn producer who has an actual production history (APH) approved yield of 190 bushels per acre, crop insurance price of $4 per bushel, and a coverage level of 70% will result in a revenue guarantee of $532 per acre ($4 × 190 bushels × 0.7). An increased coverage ...
