An agronomist with Ohio-based Maria Stein Grain says yields in the Eastern Corn Belt are above-average despite less than ideal conditions.
“For corn I’ve seen whole fields average 240, 250, and even 230,” he says. “when I look at soybeans we’ve been seeing 70, 80, 85 bushel soybeans and I’m not saying in spots, I’m saying whole fields.”
Bill Mullen says soybeans yields are surprising because many farmers reported disease and insect pressure.
