DTN Digital Yield Results Released for ND, MN, SD

The results from the DTN Digital Yield Tour included an average corn yield estimate of 151.9 bushels per acre in North Dakota and a 34.7 bushel per acre soybean yield estimate. DTN did not include North Dakota in last year’s tour so there is no comparison available. With its proprietary yield models, DTN forecasted Minnesota corn yield at 199.1 bushels per acre. That’s up from nearly 187 bushels per acre last year. The soybean estimate is in line with a year ago at 51.3 bushels per acre. The South Dakota forecast is for a corn yield of 169.2 bushels per acre and an average soybean yield of 43.8 bushels per acre. South Dakota’s corn yield is two-and-a-half bushels higher than a year ago, but the soybean estimate is more than six bushels below a year ago.
