Crop Yield Calculator

Estimate bushels per acre for corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, dry beans, and other row crops. Enter plant population, ear or pod count, and kernel or seed weight — the calculator handles the rest in both Imperial and metric units.

Estimate harvest yield in bushels per acre for corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, dry beans, and other row crops. Enter your field size, price per bushel, and any adjustments for moisture or field loss — get projected bushels, gross revenue, and net return. Useful for pre-harvest planning, crop insurance estimates, and end-of-season reconciliation. Works in both US and metric units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crop yield is the amount of a crop harvested per unit of land area — typically measured in bushels per acre in the US, or tonnes per hectare internationally. It's the most fundamental measure of a farm's productivity. Yield multiplied by price gives gross revenue, which is why understanding expected yield is the starting point for any crop budget, break-even calculation, or land rental decision. Yield varies by crop variety, soil quality, irrigation, weather, and management practices.

Divide total harvested bushels by total acres. Example: 122,880 bu ÷ 640 acres = 192 bu/acre. Multiply by price per bushel for revenue per acre.
Irrigated corn typically yields 220–280 bu/acre under good management. The US national average is approximately 175–180 bu/acre. Dryland corn in the High Plains typically yields 100–160 bu/acre.
Corn, soybeans, hard and soft wheat, canola, and dry edible beans. Other MyFarmCalc tools cover potato storage, bruise risk, pivot irrigation, grain storage, application rates, seed populations, and ag loans.
Revenue per acre = yield (bu/acre) × price ($/bu). A $0.50/bu price change on 220 bu/acre corn shifts revenue by $110/acre. Use the drydown calculator to subtract moisture shrink and drying costs for net revenue.
Yes — enter multiple fields with different crops, yields, acres, and prices. MyFarmCalc sums per-field and farm-total revenue in one session.
Stand-count and ear-survey estimates are typically ±10–15% of final yield. Use them for planning scenarios, not marketing commitments.

Bushels per acre = total harvested bushels ÷ harvested acres. Keep in mind that harvest moisture affects sellable weight — use the Grain Drydown Calculator to find your actual dry bushels after moisture shrink. For example, 50,000 bu ÷ 250 acres = 200 bu/acre. In this calculator, enter your per-acre yield directly or use the farm total — yield × acres — to get total production and gross revenue.

At 250 bu/acre yield and $4.50/bu corn, gross revenue is $1,125/acre. Irrigated corn typically yields 220–280 bu/acre, giving $990–$1,260/acre gross at $4.50 corn, or $1,100–$1,400/acre at $5.00 corn. Actual revenue depends heavily on contracted vs. spot prices.
