Estimate corn yield using the Yield Component Method (University of Illinois).
Sample Information
Count harvestable ears in 17' 5" of row (for 30" rows).

Yield Projection
Enter field sample data to estimate yield
Overview
The Yield Component Method estimates grain yield based on sampling 1/1000th of an acre. Accuracy increases as you take more random samples across the field.
💡
Pro Tips
For 30-inch row spacing, 1/1000th of an acre is exactly 17 feet 5 inches of row length.
Always sample at least 5-10 random locations to account for field variability.
Avoid sampling only the best or worst areas of the field.

Fun Facts
"The standard kernel factor is 90 (representing 90,000 kernels per bushel)."
"Excellent grain fill may have a factor of 75-80, while poor fill may reaching 100+."
"Yield components are determined at different stages: rows at V7, kernels/row by R2."
