IARN — Day two of the Pro Farmer Crop Tour found its Western Scouts finishing up the state of Nebraska. Yesterday, we talked about the low numbers coming out of South Dakota. The scouts knew that Nebraska was probably going to see some lower numbers as well, given that the hot and dry weather was taking its toll on pollination.
While the numbers that came from Nebraska were better than what was in South Dakota, they weren’t good enough in comparison to normal Nebraska yields. The tour estimates Nebraska’s corn yield at 158.5 bushels per acre (bpa). That’s a thirteen percent drop from 2021’s numbers. Western Tour Lead Chip Flory talks about what they saw.
