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 118.45 bu. per acre. Pod counts in a 3’x3’ square 871.40.
Because USDA no longer collects objective yield samples in August, this will be the industry’s first broad look at field data from across the Corn Belt.
While we’re scouting fields across the Corn Belt Aug. 16-19 on the Pro Farmer Crop Tour, you can scout your own fields.
