West Central MN | Back of the envelope math
4 million acres too wet, 63% of acres are cropland
4M x 63% = 2.5M acres
40% of acres are corn
2.5M x 40% = 1M acres of corn
Conservatively guesstimate 10 bu/ac have been lost off the top end yield
1M acres x 10 bu/ac = 10M bushels of MN corn gone
--------------------------------------------------------------
95.2M USDA corn acres x 181 bu/ac yield = 17.2Billion bushels
10M Lost MN bushels is 0.1%, a rounding error, of the country's total production
