U.S. corn production is forecast at 15.1 billion bushels, up less than one percent from October. Yields are record high at 177 bushels per acre, up half-a-bushel from last month. The statewide averages for corn yields were 186 bushels per acre for Minnesota, 137 bushels per acre for South Dakota and 108 bushels per acre for North Dakota. While the Dakotas enjoyed a small bump in yield, Minnesota has seen a significant improvement with USDA increasing the state’s average corn yield by 20 bushels per acre from August-to-November.
