Related Content. Credit: Montana Farm Bureau. Some of the higher soybean yields occurred in Nebraska. For the I-states, the lowest yields were in southern Illinois and southern Indiana. When compared to the Midwest, southern Illinois and southern Indiana had close to average yields, similar to corn. Over the entire Midwest, the average corn-to-soybean yield ratio was 3.
Ratios exhibited spatial patterns, as is illustrated in Figure 3. Note that the central CRD in Illinois had the highest average corn and soybean yields, respectively, at Its corn-to-soybean yield ratio of 3. Overall, one would expect corn to be more of an advantage in these areas relative to soybeans. In the I-states, lower corn-to-soybean rations tend to be east and south of the central CRD in Illinois: in southern and eastern Illinois and most of Indiana.
Overall, one would expect soybean to have a relative economic advantage in these areas relative to corn. Outside the I-states, geographical trends continue. The eastern corn belt of Indiana and Ohio tend to have lower corn-to-soybean yield ratios. Western Kansas and western Nebraska also had low ratios. Higher corn-to-soybean yield ratios tend to be in Iowa, much of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and eastern North and South Dakota. Across the Midwest, higher yields for both corn and soybeans tend to predominate in the heart of the corn belt.
While some parts of the province experienced lower yields due to a lack of rain, yields were strong overall. The provincial average for corn yields was bushels per acre, just above the year average of bushels per acre. Soybean farmers saw average yields of 52 bushels per acre, well above the year average of 46 bushels per acre. The yield maps below show Ontario corn and soybean yields from farmers enrolled in Production Insurance.
Higher yields can lead to higher Production Insurance coverage in future years, when producers need it.
