Harvested bushels can be measured using grain carts, yield monitors, or elevator scale tickets.
Understanding Yield Per Acre in Crop Production
Yield per acre is one of the most important performance indicators in crop production. This yield per acre calculator helps you quickly determine bushels per acre by dividing total harvested bushels by the number of acres harvested. Whether you are analyzing corn, soybeans, wheat, or other row crops, accurately calculating yield allows you to evaluate field performance, compare hybrids or varieties, and measure return on investment.
To calculate yield per acre, simply divide total bushels harvested by total acres. For example, if a field produces 18,000 bushels across 100 acres, the yield equals 180 bushels per acre. This standard measurement allows growers to benchmark productivity against county averages, historical farm records, and university research data.
Corn yields in the United States commonly range between 150 and 220 bushels per acre depending on soil quality, rainfall, hybrid selection, and management practices. Soybean yields often range from 45 to 70 bushels per acre in many production regions. Tracking yield per acre helps identify high-performing zones, drainage issues, fertility limitations, and other agronomic factors that influence crop success.
For deeper analysis, growers may combine yield calculations with harvest loss estimates, grain moisture adjustments, and planting population data. Together, these tools provide a complete picture of crop efficiency and long-term profitability.
