The Crop Value Estimation calculator computes the estimated crop value based on the land planted, yield and the dollar per bushel expected.
INSTRUCTIONS: choose units and enter the following:
- (A) Acres Planted (e.g. corn, soybeans, wheat)
- (YPA) Yield per Acre
- (DPB) Dollars per Bushel
Crop Value (HV): The calculator returns the value in U.S. dollars
The Math / Science
The following information is provided for the convenience of the farmer. It is based on publicly available sources and includes average yields by crop and state, and a price survey of corn, wheat and soybean in dollars per bushel. Note: your yield will differ from the averages due to local conditions, and the price per bushel will be different due to quality of the crop and timing of when it's sold in the market. Nonetheless, this data used in this calculator with your amount of land is a reasonable place to start.

Yield per Acre by US State and Crop
Corn Yield
A farmer can compute a good estimation of corn yield while the corn is still standing based on a 1000th acre row survey of their own field using their own acreage and a moisture correction factor. The Corn Yield Estimation Calc walks through the process. In the absence of a personal estimate, the U.S. Department of Agriculture provides statistics by state and year. Note, current weather conditions greatly affect corn yield.
