Pro Farmer Crop Tour
For more than 30 years, Pro Farmer Crop Tour scouts have been providing the agriculture industry with insights into potential corn and soybean production, gathering scout reports from 2,000+ fields across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio and South Dakota.
The next Pro Farmer Crop Tour takes place August 18-21, 2025.
Pro Farmer estimates the U.S. corn crop at 14.979 billion bu. using an average yield of 181.1 bu. per acre. We estimate the U.S. soybean crop at 4.740 billion bu. at an average yield of 54.9 bu. per acre.
