USDA no longer collects objective yield samples in August, so the Pro Farmer Crop Tour will be the first to measure ear populations and pod counts from actual fields at scale.
3. Particular interest this year will be corn ear population & soybean pod counts. State-by-state results will be shared daily with historical data to see how this year's counts compare. Crop Tour Procedures - Step-by-step details on how Crop Tour scouts measure & record field samples. | |
