Based on conditions as of September 1, Wisconsin’s corn yield is forecast at 159 bushels per acre, unchanged from last month. Total production is expected to be 469 million bushels, up 5 percent from 2009.

If farmers are able to harvest all those acres - it would be both a record yield and record production. No matter what size of crop the states farmers have - they're confident about its quality.  As of the end of August - 82 percent of the corn crop was rated good-excellent, a 1 point increase in confidence in a month.

Nationally, corn production is forecast to be down 2 percent from the August forecast, but up from the previous record of 13.1 billion bushels set in 2009.

In the soybean crop - the average grower is expecting about 45 bushel to the acre according to the September 1 forecast.  That's one bushel more then last month's guess - and 5 bushel more then actually harvested per acre in 2009. Production is expected to reach a record 74.7 million bushels, a jump of 15 percent over the last year. As of August 30, 84 percent of Wisconsin soybeans were rated good-excellent, a 3-point increase from last month.
