Watch Michael’s Video on Estimating Corn Yield
In this Ag Bites video, Sales Agronomist Michael Shutt estimates the yield potential of 75K85.
As you’ll see, Michael demonstrates the method, formula, and meaning behind the results that he finds while out examining customers’ fields.
As Michael showed us above, checking your ears for kernel count, both around and length, is a simple, yet effective way to begin estimating your yield. Take that number times your ear count to get your kernels per acre and divide by 90,000 (average kernels per bushel, adjust for test weight differences).
For more in-depth information on estimating yield and figuring out the ‘whys’ in your field throughout the year, make sure to check out the September issue of the Dakota Farmer for our piece on evaluating your corn crop throughout the year.
