IL | National corn yield in 1916 was 24 bpa.
I have had the same type of conversations with people who farmed 40-50 years ago that claimed they raised 60+ bpa soybeans all the time back then. I pulled up the county average and showed them how low yields were 40-50 years ago.

Here is an awesome site to check yields. You can county average or national average.
