From the Rows | Brian Grete — Day 3
Observations from Day 3 of the eastern leg of Crop Tour.Eastern Tour – Day 3. My route dead headed north out of Bloomington to Toluca. From there we headed west and eventually north, sampling fields in crop districts 4 (central) and 1 (northwest) in Illinois. Our average yield was 209.1 bu. per acre, with a range of 142.8 bu. to 260.5 bushels. Six of our 10 samples were above 200 bu., with the only real clunker the low one of the day. Despite the strong average yield, there was more variability in fields than I expected. Ear counts ranged from 92 to 114. Grain length ranged from 5.83 to 8.8 inches. There’s some spectacular corn in Illinois, but some of the crop left me wanting for more along my route given everything we heard about the state’s corn crop ahead of Crop Tour. With that said, the overall Crop Tour results for Illinois were spectacular.
