Three of the 11 Crop Watch producers increased their corn yield expectations this week, the most notable coming in eastern Iowa.
A 3.77 for average Crop Watch corn yield is still below what was expected in July and August, and it would land above the 2022 yield but below that of 2021.
Producers in Indiana and western Iowa also increased their Crop Watch corn expectations this week based on results from other fields.
Final Crop Watch soybean yield for 2023 is likely to end at 3.5, up from 3.48 a week earlier.
Only five of the 22 Crop Watch fields have yet to be touched, all corn: Both Dakotas, western Iowa, Indiana and Ohio.
