Pro Farmer 2015 Corn, Soybean Crop Estimates
August 21, 2015 5:04 PM | Tagged as farm, farm management, farm real estate, farmland, Lee Realty

Pro Farmer 2015 Corn, Soybean Crop Estimates were released today, after they completed a seven state crop tour Monday thru Thursday this week, in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota.  Variability was a commonly used word on the tour.  Corn nitrogen deficiency from the excessive rains that robbed the crop of yield potential was also common, in some areas.  A total of 1400 corn and 1400 soybean samples were taken.  In corn the population was there but the ear length in some cases was stunted due to the excessive rains.

PF estimated the 2015 U.S. corn crop at 13.323 billion bushels, an average yield of 164.3/acre. That compares to USDA’s corn yield estimate released earlier this month at 168.8 bu. per acre. This is a 4.5 bu. per/acre difference in the two yield estimates.
