Pro Farmer Day 4 Shows Improved Yields for Iowa, Drops for Minnesota Corn

Day 4 of the 2018 Pro Farmer crop tour finished in Iowa and Minnesota yesterday. Their corn yield estimate came in at 188.2 bpa, up from last year’s 179.79 bpa. Soybeans also improved from 1092.92 pods in a 3x3 square in 2017 to 1208.99 pods this year. Minnesota saw an improved soybean estimate of 1090.47 pods, compared to last year’s Pro Farmer estimate of 1019.96. Corn yield fell, however, from 191.54 bpa in 2017 to 178.67 bpa this year. Iowa corn yields were the second highest of the 7 states included on the 2018 Pro Farmer crop tour, only behind Illinois at 192.63 bpa. Minnesota corn yields were dead last, primarily due to heavy rains that have delayed maturity of the crop.
