Farmers report extremely poor fall 2002 harvests with corn averaging 15 to 50 bushels per acre and soybeans similar. Spotty rainfall, varied soil types, and drought conditions produce stark yield differences within fields. Experts call it one of the worst harvests on record, with some areas barely covering harvest costs.
In Champaign Illinois farmers report a wide range of corn yields from 40 to 190 bushels per acre due to late planting drought and heat. Some elevators see good yields while others struggle with dry spells and aflatoxin concerns. Farmers with crop insurance may fare better than others.
