At Washburn, North Dakota, Clark Price said corn yields have varied dramatically depending on where rain fell. “The corn, it’s really spotty,” Price said. “There’s some pretty decent corn out here, I’d say close to APH levels maybe, but then you go not very far away and you go down to virtually zero.” Soybeans generally yielded 30 to 35 bushels per acre, well above early expectations of five to ten bushels. Canola yields were also better than anticipated at 1,700 to 2,000 pounds per acre. Price credits improved genetics for helping crops survive the summer heat.
