CROP YIELD SURVEY RESULTS IN

  The Bond County Farm Bureau completed the 10th annual Bond County Crop Survey and announced the results Thursday morning to the teams who went on the survey. Teams of surveyors consisted of Farm Bureau Members, Local Banking Officials, Agribusiness Representatives, and local News Media. A total of 4 teams surveyed Bond County on September 2, 2010. The results were tabulated and released that day by the Bond County Farm Bureau. The Bond County Corn Crop resulted in an average yield of 163.46 bushels per acre with samplings ranging between 74 bushels to 210 bushels per acre. The yields were up from the 2009 average, 159.89 bushels per acre. The average population for corn during the survey was 27700. The soybean crop had an average yield of 41.92 bushels per acre with samplings ranging between 28.5 bushels to 63 bushels per acre. The soybean yields were up from the 2009 average of 36.0 bushels per acre.The survey results showed yield damage due to the heat we had this summer. The corn harvest has begun and soybean harvest will be in full swing by mid October.  We want to thank all of the participants of the 4 teams who surveyed the fields of Bond County. We are always asked the question,”how close is the survey to actual”. Over the last 9 years our average yield survey for corn has been 159.89 bu per acre, the USDA average for the same 9 years was 160 bu. Per acre. Soybeans in our county average for the same 9 years has been 35.88 bu per acre, the USDA average for the same 9 years was 37.11 bu per acre. For more information about the Bond County Crop Survey contact the Bond County Farm Bureau office at 618-664-3100.
