AGDEAL - 5/15/2021 20:21 If that area has a perfect year it'll be north of 180.
If we had "perfect" weather on every acre of corn in this country the national average would be well over 200 bpa. Possibly north of 250.
Keep in mind perfect weather for every acre does not look the same. We have acres that had their best year ever in 2019 when it rained every 3rd day, we also had acres that had their poorest crop in over 20 years because they were too dang wet.
It takes a lot of little problems on a lot of acres to get the national yield down to 170-180.
