Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

If ur getting 68 heads a square foot and 36 kernels average per head, ur in for a surprise. Unless ur using 20 for thousand kernel weight…..

Do you have a different formula? How do you calculate yield, from the stand?

We used this one ..it was very close..

Estimating Yield
Grain yield can be estimated prior to harvest. Remember this is just an estimate as field conditions are rarely uniform. The general formula to estimate grain yield is:

For 7” row spacing:

Wheat: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0319

Barley: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0389

Oats: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0504



To adjust to other row spacing:

6 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 1.17

7.5 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.93

10 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.70

12 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.58

1/4 to 3/4 of a inch last night lots of lodging happening in Barley and Canary seed.

[SASKFARMER]

14x3= 42

42x 94heads = 3948

3948 x .0319 = 125.94

10 in spacing

125.94x.70=88.16

Aren’t yield monitors the most accurate?? 😂😂😂
We are paying huge dollars for these things they should be spot on.
It’s too hot to go out and grab plants and count. Better have a 18 pack if you do so. 😆

Lots of cereals turning pink. Looks fuzzy as in fusarium.

Nice Average crop in the swamp
Coming along nicely
Certainly no barn burner but good average
Peas and alfalfa seed excellent
Canola needs 3 weeks

[SASKFARMER]

I agree Case its not our best ever but it is a good average out our way. Barley may be a bit ahead and canary seed.

Canola needs three to 4 weeks that's a long time.

BTO lots of beer and yield get better as the day goes on. math is fun with Alcohol
