Romulo Lollato, a wheat agronomist for Kansas State University, examines wheat in a field on an annual crop tour, near Washington, Kansas, U.S., May 16, 2023.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts 2023 corn yield in Illinois will be similar to that of 2021.
USDA pegs Iowa’s corn yield just below 2021’s record, which also came amid dry conditions with well-timed showers.
The tour uses a rough corn yield calculation, though it does not estimate soybean yield.
Final soybean yield across the whole of Nebraska last year was the lowest since 2012 and 18% below the 2019-2021 average.
