The 2022 DTN Digital Yield Tour, powered by Gro Intelligence, found yield prospects lacking in many areas of the county. During August, other crop tours and national estimates offered their assessments. Here s a summary.
The final day of the DTN Digital Yield Tour, powered by Gro Intelligence, pegged South Dakota s statewide average corn yield at 128.9 bushels per acre, the lowest since 2012. Minnesota corn survived, not thrived, as its statewide average fell to 173.1 bpa, more than 10 bpa below average.
Statewide yield estimates in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are near USDA s five-year averages, with the second day of the DTN Digital Yield Tour, powered by Gro Intelligence, showing yield estimates of 196.9 bushels per acre, 180.9 bpa and 178.9 bpa, respectively.
