Calculate seed pounds per acre from desired plant population and seed count. Plan corn, soybean, and small grain seeding rates with germination adjustment.
Calculate irrigation water volume in gallons and acre-inches from field area and application depth. Plan pivot, drip, and flood irrigation scheduling.
Calculate field area in acres and hectares from dimensions or GPS coordinates. Estimate planted acreage for farm planning, inputs, and yield reporting.
Divide total dry-weight production by acres harvested. Use same area basis as insurance and FSA reporting.
Yield = Total Harvest Weight ÷ Planted/Harvested AcresCorn standard 15.5% moisture; soybeans 13%. Adjust wet bushel weight to standard moisture for fair comparison.
Dry Weight = Wet Weight × (100 − Moisture%) ÷ (100 − Standard Moisture%)Convert pounds to bushels using crop-specific standard test weight.
Bushels = Pounds ÷ Standard Test Weight (corn 56 lb/bu, soy 60 lb/bu, wheat 60 lb/bu)Updated: July 2026
Plot yields 2,250 lb wet at 20% moisture on 0.5 ac → adjust to 15.5% → ~180 bu/ac estimated field yield.
3,300 lb from 1 ac at 13% moisture ÷ 60 lb/bu = 55 bu/ac. Compare to county average for hybrid evaluation.
Convert bu/ac to t/ha for international reporting: multiply by crop-specific conversion factor.
Calculate crop yield from harvest data for farm records, crop insurance, and performance benchmarking. Enter total harvested weight, moisture adjustment, and field area to get yield per acre in bushels or tons.
