Metric Conversions In the metric system, yield is given by weight (kilograms per hectare). A corn yield of 200 bushels per acre is ﬁ rst expressed by weight (200 bu @ 56 lb/bu = 11,200 lbs) and then converted to kilograms (11,200 lbs * .4536 kg/lb = 5,080 kg).Because a hectare is equal to 2.471 acres, it means that 200 bu/ac is equal to about 12,553 kg/ha (5,080 kg/ac x 2.471 ac/ha = 12,553 kg/ha). corn yield of 200 bushels per acre is ﬁ rst expressed by weight (200 bu @ 56 lb/bu = 11,200 lbs) and then converted to kilograms (11,200 lbs * .4536 kg/lb = 5,080 kg). Because a hectare is equal to 2.471 acres, it means that 200 bu/ac is equal to about 12,553 kg/ha (5,080 kg/ac x 2.471 ac/ha = 12,553 kg/ha).

- estimating corn yields. Simplest and Least Accurate Method The simplest and least accurate method is to select an ear or ears that represent the average ear size in the field. Count the number of kernels per ear and multiply by 0.300 to get a very rough yield estimate. To determine number of corn kernels per ear, multiply number of rows on an ear by number of kernels in a row. Do not count kernels near the tip that are less than half the size of kernels midway up the ear. Table 1. Multipliers based on ears per acre and kernel size to calculate expected yield. Determine the number of kernels per ear and multiply that number by the correct multiplier to make a yield estimate. Ears/ Acre Kernel Size Kernels per Bushel

- This question does not have a definitive answer, because it depends  on the size of the ears of corn. The best judgment would average  between 40-60 ears of corn. The most c…ommon farmer's measurement  used for the sale of bushels of sweet corn would be four dozen (48  ears of corn) per bushel.

USDA projects record 2014 crop production The 2014 projected national average corn yield would be well above recent U.S. corn yields of 158.8 bushels per acre in 2013, 123.4 bushels per acre in 2012, and 147.2 bushels per acre in 2011. The previous record U.S. average corn yield was 164.7 bushels per acre in 2009. The report is now estimating total soybean production in 2014 at a record level of 3.91 billion bushels, which compares to a soybean production level of 3.15 billion bushels in 2013.

Take a stand on corn populations As yield goals rise, you need more plants. Estimates from South Dakota and Illinois trials show final corn plant population needs to rise 740 to 940 plants per acre for every 10-bushel yield goal increase. If your yield goal moves from 180 bushels an acre to 200, you need to plant an extra 1,500 to 2,000 plants per acre. 2.

ear corn price? Probably on account of the newer hybrids having smaller cob. But these are dry weights to 15% anything wetter you will need to add 1.4% weight for every 1% moisture. For example 17% corn will require 71.96# of ear corn to = 1 bushel of shelled corn. Use the 70# standard when figuring price. Not every hybrid has the smaller cob.

- a) Either. . . with 15 bushels per acre above the 2005 Iowa average yield (173 bu/acre), we would need 20.2 million acres of corn in Iowa (a 63% increase).any growers are producing yields over 300 bu/acre every year. Some of these producers are represented in the National Corn Growers Yield Contest every year. Contest winners from across the country typically produce between 250 to 350 bushels per acre per year.

How to Calculate Bushels Per Acre Determine the yield per unit. For example, select 10 ears of corn and count how many kernels each one contains. Add them together, then divide by 10 for the average kernels per ear. Write this number down. Find the average number of units-per-acre by sampling 1/1,000th of an acre and multiplying by 1000. Multiply the yield-per-unit by the average number of units-per-acre. Divide the units-per-acre by the number of kernels per bushel. Find this number by referencing a table such as the one provided by the University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture. This final number equals your bushels per acre.

Using a basis contract to market corn Using a basis contract to market corn. Despite a late start, the 2013 harvest progressed rapidly, and yield prospects increased across most of the Corn Belt. The U.S. corn yield average rose by 5.1 bushels per acre from September to November, according to USDA’s latest estimate. Farmers are expected to harvest a record 13.989 billion bushels in 2013. Final USDA estimates will be released on January 10.
