Missouri Farmers Share Simple Corn Yield Calculation Method
Grow Farm Solutions released a tutorial on calculating corn bushels per acre. Filmed in a Missouri cornfield, the video details a simple formula. Farmers count vertical kernel rows and rows around the cob, multiply by plants per thousand of an acre, and then by 0.0116. A demonstration showed a corn cob with 32 vertical rows and 16 rows around. With 33 plants per acre, the yield potential was calculated at 188 bushels per acre. This practical method offers a quick field assessment for agricultural planning.
