Interesting Iowa Corn Yield Data

Per Iowa Extension Agents

"At the state level historical USDA-NASS data indicates that if 50 percent of the corn is planted before May 15 the chances for high yield potential still exists (Figure 1). In only five of 40 years the 50 percent corn planting point has not occurred before May 15. In each of those five years, the statewide corn yield was below trend line."





14 day rainfall vs normal. Heaviest rain across Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, northern Illinois. Below normal rainfall in Iowa.


Long range projections show significant rainfall across the cornbelt over the next 10 days

EURO 10 day rainfall totals
