Corn for Grain Objective Yield Data
The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in 10 corn-producing States during
2020. Randomly selected plots in corn for grain fields are visited monthly from September through harvest to obtain
specific counts and measurements. Data in these tables are rounded actual field counts from this survey.
