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.
Scouts measured average corn yield potential of 177.85 bu. per acre. Pod counts in a 3’x3’ square averaged 1165.97.
