Corn Yield

[KB9UDE]

Here in central Illinois we had average yields anywhere from 200-325 bushels per acre depending on soil and hybrid of corn planted. We had a late planting season and harvest.

Well in the mountains of Tennesse and North Carolina they don't determine the yeild by bushels they determine it by gallons. Ha Ha

That's pretty funny, it reminds me of a shirt I received as a gag gift. We were going whitewater rafting and a friend sent me a shirt that had two guys in a canoe paddling with one of them saying, "Paddle quicker I hear banjos!"

325 is an average yield _anywhere_ in the USA? Did you mean 100-225bu?????

We can hit 250 in certain spots in the field, can even hit 300 in a spot or 2, but.... Calling that average yeild????

That leads to the town folk thinking farming is easy, and everyone should do it!

I try for a 200 bu yield, but am tickled pink if I average 175.

I thought about calling him out on that, but figured it wasn't worth it.

The farm my brother and I own averaged 187 bu./acre. The farm is located in southern Ky. Corn was planted about 3 weeks later than normal due to rain , had above average rainfall during growing season, and was shelled about 30 days later than normal due to excessive rain at harvest time. Was quite happy with yield.

I think 325 is possible for an across the the farm one year average.
